2017 April 27 - Saipan / Obyan Beach
(Day 3, dive 1)

There are two ways to dive Obyan - either from the shore or from a boat.
If there’s a choice, I’ll take the boat.

This was the first dive of the second day with Cmlc Artha (3rd day of  diving on Saipan tho). We got ourselves loaded up and headed south. This  time not as far as Tinian but we ( Read more... )

2017 April 26 - Saipan / dimple

Third dive of the day off Saipan's west coast. Originally planned to do  four but three was a good idea. I was still worn out from the steps of  the grotto! Actually, I'll just say Nelson, the DM, was tired and I was  making him work too hard.

Dimple is a really nice and easy site. There's a little bit of current ( Read more... )

Day 2. Dive 2. Tinian Grotto (Tinian).

Tinian Grotto was the second dive of the day. It's also one of the  popular sites I had read about and honestly, I kind of enjoyed parts of  it more than the Saipan Grotto. Maybe because it didn't require all  those steps to climb up and down. It's smaller though, and yet I found  the openings to be really ( Read more... )

Day 9 in Cuba was March 19.

I skipped the day excursions for a lot of laying in bed and just being alone. I needed to de-compress from being around so many people. I enjoyed my time doing nothing a lot. Doing nothing also meant watching TV.
Barcelona was playing!

So onwards!
We then headed into the Los Hoyos area of town.
Conga las Hoyas makes sense for a name now, eh?
The place was called Foco Cultural, Conga los Hoyos.
And it was loud!

Yup. I went back to Mexico.
But this was a few weeks ago. In November. For Thanksgiving.
And it was awesome.

Did a lot of diving. Here's one of many videos posted to my Vimeo page.

Nothing extraordinary happening.
But all is well.

My last post mentions a trip to Cabo Pulmo. I've gone and booked another for November as well!

Also, once again participated in Camp Challenge for the Me-One Foundation. This year I hosted a family of 4. :-)

Here's the video that was made:

So this guy that does RockMed posted about a Me-One Camp Challenge weekend.
It was the same weekend as Pride SF and a few other things too but I chose to volunteer for them in order to experience something different.
(I guessed that Pride would probably consist of mostly ETOH patients and dehydration, etc).

At Camp Challenge, adults with cancer / ( Read more... )
