VIVA MEXICO!

Had gone diving in Mexico for a week for thanksgiving and it was tremendous fun.

Great mexican food.Really! Vegetarians do have lot of options.Boy!I love tortilla's and Habenaro sauce.Chipotle - you suck in making tortilla's!

It was fun to drink coconut water out of coconuts after a very long time.

Fun haggling with roadside vendors who used to greet us with 'Namastes' and tried to attact us by saying 'Everything is 1 rupee' (Though it was not!)

Bribed myself out of a road violation ticket for 300 pesos with a traffic cop.

Friendly people and surprisingly clean cities.

Chichen Itza was wonderful and Tulum was spectacular.Coba and Ek balam were remote and secluded and very peaceful and had the mayan ruins mostly to ourselves to explore.

Diving wise it was pretty awesome, a lot of first's on my diving resume. First cavern diving,first night dive, First drift dive,First shark dive.We did 7 dives in 3 days.The second largest reef in world runs through mexico through yucatan peninsula which we happened to see during our deep dive.

The Bull shark dive was simply amazing.Had never observed sharks from so close quarters and we had about 14-15 of them swirling around us. Scary at first but then you get into your comfort zone knowing that they dont really care about you much unless you do something stupid like waving your arms at them or holding out your arm as to feed them,you can be rest assured you will be limbless within minutes. :)

The cavern dive had wonderful stalactites and stalagmites underwater.

The night dives are more spectacular than day dives marine life wise,saw a ton of moray eels,sea urchins,turtles,sting rays

It was a pity missing out on Cozumel because of dive permit confusions.Well,maybe next time.

VIVA MEXICO!
