Diving on Roatan
08 December 2011 | French Harbor

Wednesday I went Diving with Dave from Expectations. He is a veteran cruiser from this part of the Caribbean and has all the dive gear on board.
I asked Connie to snap a picture of me since most of the blog pictures are of her. Now you see why, she snapped a picture of the back of my head. This is the best of the pictures, she also snapped a picture of my foot and one of my hand. She doesnt seem to grasp that you have to let the auto focus work for a moment before you give up and lower the camera. But don't worry she has other redeeming features so she hasn't been beached.
The diving was spectacular. We did a wall in the morning and a double wreck in the afternoon (small ship and a plane). I havent been to 80 feet in more than 20 yrs. I brought the gear primarily for cleaning the boat bottom but now I am in one of the premier diving spots so I am diving once again. Connie snorkeled near by as she doesnt like diving deep.
We are meeting new boat people every day as they are coming out of the Rio Dulce (nearby Guatemala) now that the hurricane season is over and the real winter cruising season has begun. Like the many Mexico cruisers we met there ,they are 5,6 and more years veterans.
Probably dive again today.
