You'll notice that the plane was scheduled to leave at 6:20. Leslie and I got off our plane at 6:17. We were supposed to arrive about 35 minutes earlier, except a huge storm front was moving into houston from the west that forced us to go around and come at it from the east.

So, I sprinted from our plane to the one bound for cozumel. I got to the gate at 6:19, but the doors on the plane had already been closed. I begged and whined and pleaded, and they agreed to open them again for us. My brother had apparently only barely made it himself. Five minutes after we took off, they closed the houston airport because of the storm. A close one, indeed.

A waffle house on the beach, lunch after our first night there. Doug was off doing his refresher course.

Both of the days we went out on the boat, Leslie got stuck with the one spot that was wet. She was thoroughly soaked by the time we got to the reef.

Here begin the underwater photos. You should be impressed that they aren't all a sea of blue. Doug did a bunch of research on how to correct for the fact that, as you go deeper and deeper, the red end of the spectrum fails to penetrate and you're just left with blue. Here's Bryan.

He corrected by using a red filter over the lens and manually balancing the white level. The result is more-or-less real coloring. The shots from the first day are pretty grainy, due to the ISO 400 exposure setting, but they improve as doug gets the hang of the settings. George hovers upside-down over leslie.

Leslie. I'm guessing since the photographer was upside-down, it was george. He has a thing for that.

One of many enormous crabs. They get quite big since fishing is prohibited on the Cozumel reefs.

It's hard to smile naturally 50 ft underwater without your air supply or your mask.
