Cancun - December 2010

This year we decided to take our vacation early and hang around for Christmas. We finally decided on Cancun Mexico since we have never been and the diving was supposed to be good. We wanted more of a vacation where we sat on the beach and rested instead of diving everyday, so we only booked 4 dives. We had lots of time to rest and were able to schedule our dives whenever we wanted so never felt rushed. There was more current on our dives than previous trips (except Zanzibar) and the visibility was just ok. We brought our new strobe (underwater flash) for the camera and our goal we to get better pictures. We are still working on it but we have a better idea what we need to do for the next trip. I think the highlight of the dives was when a turtle popped up from the coral and just wanted to swin along with us and get his picture taken. I was able to snap several photos as well as this video (9Mb), he just seems to glide in the water. We did bump into a few sharks, but not close enough to get a good photo.
