pictures from Vieques

[willienelson]

had a great time in Vieques. visibility was bad for several of the dives. The pictures that follow are from 3 dives with decent conditions. there was some "user error" with the strobes on a few of the puics but overall I think they turned out pretty well.

Nice shots. You must have had a great time. I heard the water is pretty rough for diving in P.R. I was planning a trip there a while back when the Necton liveaboard left from Fajardo but they went belly up so I headed elsewhere.

thanks guys!

SIReefer -- the diving was a little rougher than i expected and the visibility was worse than i expected, but i still had a fantastic time. To make matters worse the dive boats are mostly converted water taxis so the entry back into the boat is a little dicey

I didn't bring out my camera on every dive -- unfortunately I didn't get a shot of a large nurse shark swimming on the reef, a 4 foot wide southern stingray with eyes the size of my fist, a green turtle, and a massive 6 foot green morey.

No palmata there huh?

I saw some but not a lot. I heard it had to do with the us military occupation, but who knows.
