Mexico, United States and France are out...

visibility: water temperature: currents: surface conditions: Let's not talk about the water, as long as the wind keeps blowing from the south-east corner, the water is going to stay cold and thus green. We're still inside, watching football...

Mexico is out too, but they did come far, as did the united States. The big disappointment was France; poor football, no team spirit, no nothing, just a huge disillusion...
Only Holland and Spain are still competing as a representation of our dive center staff, but we don't really believe it's going to take too long either; they're winning, but not playing too well. The center is still full with football fans, having fun, commenting the game and especially the referees... 
Where the outside conditions are great, sunny, not too warm and a nice breeze, the water is still horribly under level. It seems like the mid winter months, with lots of wind, very low visibility and super cold water. Difference is that now the wind is nice; we can sleep again without bathing in our own sweat, but wouldn't it be nice to go diving or snorkeling again. I'm longing for the sea...

Worldchampionship football...

visibility: no water to be seen, totally green
water temperature: dropped dramatically to 64º!!!
currents: non what so ever, so it stays green
surface conditions: are good, warm, sunny, no wind...

And so we went home after just one dive. We don't have too much work, and that's good, for the conditions are below zero and far... The visibility has gone, we cannot even see the water around us and it is cold, freezing, no fun at all. The second dive we skipped, we went home, back to the dive center, to the television.
We're watching football. There's a lot going on. In the center we work with, of course, Mexicans, with Americans, French, Spanish and Dutch, and they are all part of the competition. We're watching the games life, staff and clients in a good ambiance. We're having fun, poor fish, they must be freezing their tales off...

After snorkeling also diving in t-shirt

visibility: over 60 feet
water temperature: up to 78º
currents: hardly any flow at all
surface conditions: flatcalm, no wind, no waves...

So here we are, the beginning of June and diving in a shorty in nice warm and clear water. Slowly going, together with the first turttles that arrived in the bay to lay their eggs. The typical conditions to see whale sharks; a load of krill on the bottom, just above the reef; swarms of them, so the vis here is a lot lower, kind off milky white...

My legs are changing color though, not white anymore, turning red. After snorkeling they were a bit teinted, now they are completely red. Also while diving you have to be careful with the sun or you'll turn lobster red!
