Was a really fun day out on the water. What a beautifully preserved wreck. Lots of life on her (very nice soft corrals, tons of strawberry anemones, good size lings and cabezons, plenty of nudis, even a few wolf eels).
Conditions topside were nice…
Back in January, Nick put together a trip to an unknown schooner that no one in our immediate group had ever been on. As many people know, the weather and swell has been fairly uncooperative with regards to diving this winter, and the initial charte…
Thanks Jason/Nick.
My short time in the cenotes earlier in the month did give me a bit of a wakeup call regarding temperature (brr).
Dry it is.
Congrats, guys.
Any chance of a class report? A few of us are looking to do C1 with Nick (probably in Mexico) in the not too distant future.
In reading the course standards, a couple things stood out. One is the requirement for at least one "high…

Dive Report: Wreck of the Santa Clara
Back in January, Nick put together a trip to an unknown schooner that no one in our immediate group had ever been on. As many people know, the weather and swell has been fairly uncooperative with regards to diving this winter, and the initial charter of 8 divers was canceled. Scheduling conflicts forced us to split into two separate charters, and the first of those two was canceled.

Palawan and "Star of Scotland" | 2009-02-21
Four of us went out on Giant Stride for another dive on the Palawan yesterday. We broke into two teams of two, Maciek + Christopher and myself + Ari. Unfortunately, our designated photo/videographer wasn't in attendance.
More information on the Palawan can be found on Nick's January blog post, but suffice it to say it sits upright in about 130 feet of water, with the highest structure reaching approximatel… Continue
