Cozumel Underwater Photo gallery now available

[brucejr]

I just finished my Cozumel underwater photo gallery and uploaded it to my website.

I wanted to thank all who were kind with their comments on my Grand Cayman UW photos.

I enjoyed the dives in GCM, but the diving in Coz was quite a bit better, even if the photos don't really show it. It is just harder to take good shots in Coz because of the current. I really like the drift diving, but it sure makes getting a second try at a shot difficult. I definitely plan on a return trip to Cozumel for more diving.

Details about the photos; I shot them all using an Olympus digital C5050 in an Olympus housing. I used the internal flash forced on. I shot using a very high resolution so I would have big images I could crop, which I did using Photoshop Elements2. I also touched up some of the color/contrast of most of the images.

Like is says in the galleries, I used Blue XT-sea diving for this trip. I highly recommend diving with them. Very will run operation. They accommodate cruise divers, have a small [I]fast[/I] boat and are liberal with their dive profiles. Onboard their boat they offer water, juice and snacks. Also dry towels and ponchos so you don't get cold between dives. Expect a long surface interval at one of the southern beaches so your second dive won't be limited. After the dives they will offer to drop you off back at the ship, but I was going to Chankanaab to meet up with my family, so they gave me a ride there instead.
