Isla Mujeres

Once three minutes had elapsed Karen and Rudolfo let go of the rope and the current shot them toward the boat. I was next but I had a hard time seeing if Karen had cleared the ladder because every time I exhaled, a blast of air bubbles that normally would rise harmlessly to the surface, instead would travel vertically toward the boat creating a whiteout. I had to time my breaths to see when Karen made it into the boat. Once she did I let go of the rope and jetted to the ladder. I grabbed the ladder, took off my fins and climbed into the boat.

Rudolfo brought us through a short swim through. I was the last one through and when I approached the exit Rudolfo was sitting at the exit. At first I was not sure what he was doing but as I approached Rudolfo he pointed to the ceiling. I rolled on my side and and looked up. About a foot above my head there was a medium sized brown spotted eel tucked into a crevasse. He didn’t seem to concerned about all of the divers.

Isla was quickly going from a tropical paradise to a tropical prison. I could not dive, I could not snorkel, or even hang out on the beach. I could not even rent a golf cart and explored the island because I would have gotten drenched. I was going stir crazy and I had to get off the island.

Isla Mujeres- Whale Sharks- June 2008

The boat pulls in front of the whale shark as you, your wife and the guide perch on the side of the boat holding your fins out of the water. The captain tells you when to jump. The whale shark looks like he is barely moving through the water, but as you try to keep pace with them you realize you have to swim at full speed and the sharks is still leaving you in his wake.

The best ambiance was at Casa O’s, it is an open-air restaurant located on the ocean. YOu could see Cancun from our table.

On the boat ride back the divemaster showed us one of the lobsters he caught. I was not quite dead , it barely moved when I handled it, but when I gave it to the German man it jumped, he yelled, the lobster fell at the feet of the french woman and she started screaming, literally uncontrollably.
