I just got checked in to a little b&b down here and i'm waiting for the diving to start tomorrow morning.  there should be plenty of it. I plan to be here till the 21st, then north to do some cenotes and fly home the 23rd.  I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Just rubbing it in eh?

Yes Frank I was pretty much just rubbing it in.  We did 3 dives today after we found a boat capt and dm willing to go out with tv wind blowing like it was.  we saw just about e erything but sharks.  turtles, drumfish, lobster, crab, grouper, tarpon bigger than me, and dolphins.  I did have to pay a price for diving in bad weather. I got seasick when I surfaced on the last dive, but I enjoyed myself and my new compumask.

3 more dives but no feeding of the fish today.  Today was mostly coral with lots of small tropicals. Including the one that tried to hide between my head and first stage on the last dive.  We were finishing the safety stop the dm looks my direction and points behind me.  I turn but don't see anything.  He points again and reaches toward his first stage.  I turn real quick and catch just a glimpse of the little jack, and it startles me a little because it's right there at my face. it runs back behind my head.  i spin a few more times but don't see it again.  The dm comes over and chases it out from behind my head and it starts to do the same to him, but quickly decides try to find his way back to the actual reef.  Other than that there was an eagle ray, southern ray, grouper, lobster, hogfish baracuda and a couple of chimney swim throughs.
