Curacao Diving
« on: November 20, 2006, 02:30:00 PM »
In a word, AWESOME!  beautiful healthy coral, lots of cool marine life, I saw a few fish and coral that I've never seen before, as well as one goal that I had set for myself while we were down there.
 
     -
 
 the Flamigo Tongue Nudibranch, very small hard to find, but I did find one on the last day, and had to take the picture(s) doing "station keeping" into a current, maintain bouyancy, and try to get the camera in on a this little guy who is only about an inch long, without disturbing the soft coral that it was munching on.  More pictures to come as well as the dive and trip reports.
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.

sorry about that, it's fixed.
 I have finally finished uploading all of the pictures, you can see them  at http://www.7daysinparadise.com/gallery/CuracaoDiving2006 .  I'll do some labelling tonight, but here's all of them.  Most are from diving, however there are some from snorkling as well.  enjoy.
