We had two wonderful dives this morning. Funny how yesterday's dives were somewhat uneventful and then this morning was filled with wonderful things.

We were lucky enough to see a couple squid, probably one of my FAVORITE critters to see

I agree, I can't get too much of the cephalopods ... squid and octopuses are too cool. b-)

Great pictures! They bring back memories from Curacao. Lived there for awhile when I was younger. Lovely diving water down there, it's where I learned to dive.

Your pics are great to look at!

I'm just back from Cuba, where I dived at the Bay of Pigs with my son. Fantastic weather & very interesting dives.

BUT, I flooded my Canon waterproof case, again... This is the second time it happens, with a different casing. They're rated to 130 feet, but with only one o-ring, and lots & lots of openings, I'm not sure that they can really pull it. Anyone have other experiences with these?

I was lucky to save my camera, and a few pics of our first dive.

Thanks for your divelogue!
