excellent video Gambitt!!!
 
 I had everybody at work watching it, but they kept looking for the shark that you saw.     :p

Unfortunately, I didn't see any more sharks, after I figured out how to work the video!

Gambitt, I thought for sure the video would be of your "buddy"  :rof:
 
 Great diving pics. Thanks to you and JC for posting them. They were amazing *sigh*

Wendy,
 it's time that you and I got certified so that we can post our own pics next trip.    :D

I agree Heather. We have to take the course and then we'll get to see all that beautiful marine life first hand instead of through someone else's eyes  :)

Did you hear that Gambitt saw a shark?    :D  
 
 Wendy, lets look into the courses, I really don't want to do it in Ontario waters but doing the course on vacation takes up the whole week.

millybess, you can be the official log keeper, and oh you also have to watch out for the sharks and warn us accordingly!!!!     :rof:

heather, sounds like a plan
 sure it would be great to take the course in the warm caribbean, but like you said, it takes your whole week. This way we would be certified already and could dive and party  :)

I agree with you guys about certifying in Ontario.  IMO, it will give you more confidence when you finally do dive in the Caribbean.  Plus, the point about  wasting a week in the Caribbean certifying is a good one.
 
 Regarding "shark watch", are you sure you guys will be able to hear me screaming from that far away?  -

Let's face it... We are just going to have to go back to Cozumel.  
 
 I've been diving for many years now, and you will never find better Dive Masters anywhere!
 
 Rob and Olivier, are some very special people and I'd reccomend them to Anyone!

Flygt, it was a Nurse shark I believe, about 5 feet long.  Unfortunately, i wasn't able to get as good a picture as Gambitt did.

That's because Gambitt was STALKING the shark  :)
 Though he was soooo excited that I'm surprised it turned out at all. Those are usually the pics that never turn out  :(

well, if you look at my pic, there's a burst of bubbles right beside me, I think that's Gambitt shouting "HOLY SH&*!~!"
