Current, visibility and temperature...

We are only half way May and it is as if the summer is already started, or better, as if winter is still to arrive.
We went diving yesterday and we had a water temperature of 75F in El Bajo, with a visibility of no less than 60 feet! This gives the possibility to overlook the whole reef and to be amazed and owed by the amount of life the reef offers. The current was strong, pushing you from school to school: grouper, pork fish, snapper, grunts, hiding balloon fish, wrasse in all colors etc. Big fish passing by above all this, apparently not burdened with the current at all. Huge dog snapper and sierra mackerel, like traffic on a busy interstate, with an occasional 'truck' in the form of a goliath grouper (up to 6 feet!) passing by, without the noise and the fumes. What a pleasure to be able to dive in these conditions. Boy, how I do like my job and my office...
