Each wreck has a tale to tell about its life and its demise.
If you are observant while diving in dark places listen to the account each has to tell, You cannot come away unaffected.

Yes near the boat on the 2nd dive of the first day. The dm pointed them out but it took a while to see them since they blended in.

I'm the only Tech diver other than WW and Dave L but both of them have opted out of any Tech dives. I have one scheduled for thursday afternoon 20 min to 160 on the wall infront of the resort. I'll post the report friday some time. today we did the Kittywake. I neat ship. there were a ton of recreational divers on her and the finning technique was not up to par so the vis was down. More later

I would love to do a tech dive with Jerry but the recreational opportunities abound here. We have 2 dives planned each morning including Friday. We did a shore dive Sunday, night dive Monday, Kittywake this afternoon and tomorrow Stingray City. Thursday is a Lionfish Rodeo in the afternoon and another night dive if anyone wants to do it. Then Friday afternoon for our trip to Hell, delivering school supplies, rum factory, shopping and more.

We dove StingRay City and it was as much fun as when I did it the first time. These days the divers no longer feed the rays which is good as you often got bit accidently so allowing only the DM's to feed them is a good call.
The dive lasts 45 minutes and they bring the rays to you in a circle. Most of my pictures are the people next to me but towards the end I decided to try and get as many pictures as I could of everyone. They are not that great but they are better than nothing or so most of the divers have been kind enough to tell me.
I have posted a few in the gallery and will post a few more as I can.
We wish you all were here...its a been a great trip so far! kamala

I would like to take this opportunity to Thank all of you ,in making my 1st trip with SD a GREAT 
ONE!! I think everything went well.The cuisine was 5 star. Aurie, (the owner) is a great host .His Deserts are decadent. From Mango Sorbet, Cheese Cake, Banana's Foster & Double Chocolate Mouse, which Jerry had several servings...LOL.
The Dive shop Staff was attentive to all needs and requests. The diagrams of the dive sites Christian drew ,as well as his personality , were great. I would definitely return ,for those that missed this trip.I look forward to another ,with a great bunch of folks from SingleDivers.com.
