2012-03-14 - Paso Del Cedral, Cozumel, Mexico

15.2m - 60 min - Dived with Olaf from Dressel Divers Club

We dropped into Paso El Cedral, but the current took us all the way through the Santa Rosa Wall. Two reefs in one dive! A big moray eel under a small arch. Paso El Cedral is so beautiful. Sand escarpment between Paso and Santa Rosa. Hope to see sharks or Eagle Rays in sand, but no such luck. Crab, Lobster, and a big Ray as we headed to the safety stop. Extended the dive as we followed the ray from above. The cross current was very strong. Saw another group go tumbling by. Current close ot the reef was south to north along reeef, but 5-10' above was a strong cross current into the blue. Light was a bit murky at times & sediment due to strong current. Still, it was gorgeous and clear at 20'.

Barracuda, Angelfish, Stingray, Grouper, Crab, Turtle, Lobster, Eel, Nurse Shark Santa Rosa was gorgeous this morning! Had trouble clearing my right ear and borrowed a mask for this dive. About 10 minutes in, a 7ft nurse shark swam out from a ledge directly under me, startled me. Saw a lot more fish today than yesterday, snapper, lobster, Olaf found a small eel - very pretty. Olaf & I were last down and about halfway to the safety stop, Olaf spotted a huge Lobster &back down we went. It was about 4-5 feet long and about 1-2 feet in diameter. Olaf said it was the largest lobster he has ever seen. Me too!
