scuba in cartegeña

i have heaps of photos from a glorious week in cartegeña. i am going to have to post in installments: mostly because i want to post a ton of photos, because it was just so spectacular and feels like it was 5 separate events: wedding (and la hora de loca); scuba; tayrona and barlovento; mud baths; cartegeña . . .
so . . . here's scuba

this is about a 35 minute boat ride from cartegeña...

this is the beach we ate lunch on

not the best sandwiches

but the lobster was AMAZING!

susan, a friend from the wedding, and joey, and paulo

betsy and susan had never dived,

so they took a quick intro course

and dove with us on our second dive . . .

this is part of what we saw

we dove to 2 shipwrecks!

it was my first wreck dive so i was pretty stoked!

once in the boat we found a cannon ball . .

twas too heavy to dive with

the ships were at about 65 ft underwater

we went into the boat

and found a big pocket of air

we all went up into it

and took our masks off

it smelled musky

it was pretty cool to have a conversation under 65 ft of water

these are bubble coming out of the boat . . . again, 65 ft underwater

joey

c'est moi

wait i mean

soy yo

dinner

:)

tiger fish

interesting story. . .

i thought these were only in south east asia . . .

turns out that was true, until a guy in miami decided he didn't want his pet tiger fish anymore

and they started reproducing

and now they are taking over the Caribbean . . .

at least that is the word on the street.
