| New Dive Site! |
| Sep 06 08 |
Okay, truth be known, it's a little slow here right now. With most family vacations over, and kids back in school, the slow season is upon us. However, it's a great time to be here with flat seas and 84F degree water so the staff is taking advantage of that and diving as much as possible. One of the things we like to do during this time is explore areas we may want to add to our regular dive site lineup. Nils and a team of our staff cave divers have been off in the jungle laying line in a new cave site they are mapping. But for those of us who prefer a little "natural" light when we are diving, the big news is The Pelicano. This 50ft trawler had a past life here in Puerto Aventuras as a fishing and snorkeling boat but now rests upright on a sandy area of Paradise Deep at 117ft. This is a great dive for advanced, wreck, and nitrox divers. Even though the depth limits your bottom time significantly, the reef is very closeby and the profile can be mulitleveled into a 40min dive. I was out to it twice this week and although there is little growth on the wreck at this point, it is easy to penetrate and the fish life is healthy. There was a big green moray tucked up near the propeller on the stern and the huge anchor sits photogenicly just off the bow. The nearby reef is lush with orange elephant ear sponges, big gargonians and blue vase sponges. We saw three turtles, Baracudas, Spanish Mackeral, and schools of jacks. We're all pretty excited about this dive and look forward to sharing some of our new finds with you on your next visit.
