Today we dove on a wreck-- a 1920's era American Navy minesweeper that was purchased by the Mexican government after WWII. It was sunk in about 90 feet of water near the Santa Rosa wall. Although Mom and Dad have been on this wreck multiple times over the years, I have never actually been on this site. Pretty cool! We went all throughout the inside of the ship... some rooms were so dark you couldn't see. We finally have some underwater pics to post, although this roll didn't come out that well.
We ran into a ton of sea turtles today, saw some really big Morey Eels, a nurse shark, and of course... the elusive Great Barracuda. I say elusive, only because every time I get close enough I get just a little nervous. Saw one barracuda about 3.5 feet long today, and then I saw a smaller one (still completely capable of biting me in half)... I got so close to touching this one.
