Fast boats! Ah, this is great. We had a really nice dive. We had three other compatriots: Tim and Dawn from Cleveland, and a fifth person. The fast boat ("Belinda") took us to the dive site in double time.

I didn't take many pictures -- I was getting reacclimated, keeping my breathing nice and relaxed, and sticking with Beth. She was a real shutterbug and took these pictures.

We also saw a big grouper, a couple pairs of queen angels, a turtle and a stingray in the distance at the end of the dive. It was a very nice dive, although there were several spots where the current was fighting us. That's probably my only complaint about the Palancar-named dives; the current is in your favor as much as it is against you.
