Milli,
 
 I promise I'll report "live" from cozumel once I get there!!!
 
 I'll even ask if we can set up a webcam so that you can see us.  It all depends on the manager.
 
 
 Does everybody have yahoo?  that's the only thing I can think of for a web cam feed unless somebody has another idea?
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

 Heather you know how much I love partying with the Brits   :D  
 I guess you will have to do all the meet and greets alone, since I can't be there when a busload of "fresh blood" comes in   :rof:     :rof:

Just came in again to escape the heat!!!!
 
 Warren came back at midday from his first two dives and went for his next two at 1pm.
 
 He was well impressed, hopefully he will be online tonight to tell you guys all about it.
 
 This is a great place - you are going to love it. Buffet is poor though, apart from awesome breakfast.   Better lunch at the restaurant by the pool.
 
 Not booked any a la cartes - waiting for you guys to arrive.  Please, once again, HURRY - they are running out of Tequila. lol!!!!!!!

Well guys the diving here is simply awesome. Either I have been very lucky on my first day, or Coz is just fantastic.
 
 I wont go on but just to give you a couple of my hilights of today. Would you believe it that I have just deleted a load of great pictures off my didgital camera of turtles feeding on the reef just because I have swam with 7 of them over the course of the 4 dives.
 
 Gambitt I have swam with two sharks today, one of which was 5 to 5 and a half foot long, I just laid next to it on the white sandy bottom and took some pictures. I then watched it swim off into the blue.
 
 I photographed an eagle ray swim so majestically beneath me, 5 foot wing span and a 3 foot, whip like tail cutting through the water.
 
 The biggest grouper I have ever seen, car size, slighty out of reach to photograph, but immense in size.
 
 There is so much here, I have managed to get some fantastic pictures (well they look ok on the camera screen), but the diving here is magnificent, much better than Thailand!!
 
 Can`t wait for you guys to come out and enjoy it with me.

 and sharks too?  Gambitt will be in heaven, hopefully not literally.    :p  
 
 how was the water temp?
 
 Thanx for the update Wossa.
