The winter doldrums had set in pretty well and the only way to shake 'em was to go back to one of my favorite (and affordable) dive locations - Cozumel Island. The protected reefs in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico offers some of the finest diving around. Have a look at the gallery!
Well, normally I would be travelling here in the spring or fall, but the chance came up to go there in June and I took it. Diving-wise, Cozumel has been very good to us. I'll never tire of the Santa Rosa Wall or the wrecked Filipe. Have a peek in the gallery.
South of Chicago at Kankakee, Illinois sits Haigh Quarry. This outstanding local, inland dive site features clear water, good equipment, and a simple, fun day of diving. The quarry has a nice fish population as well as a few "artifacts" on the bottom. Have a look.
