Today we had some great dives and I have redeemed myself by getting some great photos and video. We headed south to Palancar for amazing swim throughs with nurse sharks, turtles and Rays. The coral reefs and tropical abound, and the turtles and nurse sharks are the rulers of this amazing dive location. Casa Del Mar and the attached Del Mar Aquatics staff are accomidating and just a pleasure to deal with. The boats are well run and the diving is breathtaking. Drift diving rules!!! I was on the third dive of the day and spotted a nice sized turtle heading north into diagonal into the current and I kicked as hard as I could to get close for a video and a couple of snap-shots. I burned through 500 psi to do this and it was well worth it. Once I got close enough to shoot I hit the record button and shot the video.(Go to the video by clicking on the title of this post) Once the video was done I changed from video to photo mode and snapped a couple of photos. By the time all of this was done I was winded and headed to thirty feet to just drift with the current and catch my breath. What an amazing encounter!!! The items attached are cool but don't do justice to my experience. WOW!!!
