10-07-2016 Cozumel, Day 2
Today’s diving was a real treat. We made a great breakfast in our room and headed out to the landing behind our villa. We knew the routine. Get on the boat, check gear, listen to the dive briefing, and get in.
The small dive boats come right up to get ya!
Our guide Jorge was calm and chill.
Our first dive was calm with only a little current. I saw groups of permit fish which I have never seen before, especially this large!
We stopped for lunch at the beautiful Palancar Beach. Our dive operation takes divers there for the surface interval every day. The boats tie up on the shore and we all walk over to the restaurant.

The second dive had a lot more current which took us from the site Cedral to Santa Rosa. We covered a lot of distance on this one. This time we found him… The Splendid Toadfish! This little guy hangs out under rocks and ledges and is endemic to the island. My video didn’t turn out that well, but I am sure that I will find another which hopefully isn’t camera shy.
When we got back to the villa, we rinsed our gear, cleaned out the camera, and crashed! The nap was only an hour, but we needed it. When we woke up, it was time for dinner. We went back to Cafe Dennis, the trusted old favorite. Supposedly, it is the oldest restaurant on the island recommended by many divers. Yum!
Tomorrow should be more of the same, but with clouds in the forecast. This should be ok as my underwater lights make the video look normal.
