Rest day

Today was the last day of diving in Cozumel and reluctantly I sat it out to give a dodgy ear a rest so I don't overdo it and ruin my chance for diving in Key Largo. So I saw them off on their dive, wandered into town for a leisurely breakfast and came back to do a spot of work and review some photos.

The diving has been fabulous - the boat leaves from the dive centre directly across the road and its all drift diving so once on the reef it drops you in at one spot and follows you down the current to pick you up at the other end of your dive. Some of the Americans on the trip are saying it's not great. I don't know if they just have higher expectations or they've seen deterioration over time but I've found loads of beautiful and interesting things to keep me happy on every dive. I also feel as though the tips from the professionals have really helped improve my photography so the trip has been well worth it.

Off tomorrow for a long day to hopefully swim with whalesharks. We've heard rumours of there being between 15 and 50 in the area and bigger than those usually trekking up the WA coast so I'm very excited.  After that it's off to the Hampton Inn in Key Largo. One of the girls on this trip has contacts in the industry there so she's going to hook me up with a good operator and recommend some good dive sites.

Some last Cozumel photos from the diving yesterday. Went back to macro given gear and talent limitations 😏.
