Dive trip in The Sea of Cortez.

Post by Snakeman »

Ryan and I got back yestarday from our honeymoon in Baja California Mexico. We did 11 dives. The reef was not that impressive but the fish were. I saw All kinds of very large Pet store type fish. I also got to see two hamerheads, a tiger shark, flying fish, flying Mantas and a seal. You could look off the side of the boat in 80 feet of water and see the reef. I took about 7 rolls of film with a underwater camera but It was not working right so I only got a few pictures that you can tell what is on them. I'm sorry I let everybody down. I'll buy a good camera before my next reef dive. Here is what I did get.

Nice tang on the next to the last picture.. wonder what kind that is.
