This trip really was amazing! I'd have to say it was almost surreal with all the manta and shark action. It was more than I could have ever hoped for. All of the other sea life was just icing on the cake - the Sea of Cortez is right up there on top of my favorite dive locations list. The boat and crew were fabulous, they really went above and beyond to make sure our every need was fulfilled, wether it was to lend a hand or fix up gear or to just share in our excitement from the most recent dive.

I had so much fun getting to know everyone on the boat, from dinner conversation to poker lessons there was never a dull moment. And for those that might question it, if I do say so myself my enghish is coming along quite well :D It really is the people on a trip like this that make it great, I hope I have the chance to dive with all of you again!

It was a really great SD trip, and the Wench and I had to rush back to Palm Beach to do the Florida Dive show. Got in about 2 AM and had to get up at 6:30 to head up there and get the SD booth set up.
Happy hour until around 10:00 made for a long day, and back at it again on Sunday. On Wednesday whatever was going around on the boat finally got me down and I went to my ENT, took Avalox for 10 days with no results. On Monday of this week fever peaked at 101 F., that is about 38.5 C. for those of you who think that way and now taking Predisone. Feel somwhat better, but no creativity with a sever headache and fever, so I had not had a chance to do any work on the what I feel like will be an outstanding video, because of the people and the incredible trip.
Hope all is well with all of you and have a happy and safe holiday. looking forward to feeling better and a new year. As soon as I feel better and get the holidays out of the way,
The GREAT CORTEZ Video will be my first project. Look for it coming to a TV near you. My sincere apologizes for the delay, but it will be better then than now and there is a certain time that the memories fade and it really seems to bring them back. But there is also a limit to that so this will my first priority as soon as I feel well.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding.
The Orcaman, your video man!

This trip was so magnificient, I will never again be contented to dive in the Carribean. Final score: Two torn wetsuits, two broken high pressure hoses, one lost safety sausage, one broken fin, and 27 bruises.
GOD, I HAD A GREAT TIME!
