What Moon Phase is it here?

Took this Saturday. Do you know what the moon phase is?

Tough Life

Some creatures here really have a bad life.

Slideshow of Sunday's Dive.

This is just about everything I saw yesterday of note. We were all adjusting to our snorkel gear, and that took a little while. First place we went to was Pillar Coral, then we went to Tres Cocos. My gear worked great, and my dive buddy snapped a handful of the underwater photos. He's cool because he has an underwater digital camera. Mine is old style film.

First time Snorkeling

This is my response after I snorkeled in Pillar Coral. It was very cool. I'll have some pictures to show you soon. I do have some video that is more than just me talking, but I'm at an Internet cafe right now, and I'm working as fast as I can.

Landing in Belize.

We took a little twin engine prop plane (a cessna?) to the island. It was very dark and loud and strange going over water at night in a little plane. Here's how it looked.

Waiting at Airport

Here's a couple of videos of my adventure of waiting at Belize City's Airport. What fun it was! Just watch.

Very Little Internet Access

I'm here and taking much picture and video, but my Internet access has been limited. Belize is not very reliable when it comes to Internet, power, electricity. It's a different world right now. But I'm at an Internet cafe, and will get to write more later. also add some pics. I saw some awesome fish today, plants, animals- wow. Can't wait to update you on those. Talk to you all later tonight- hopefully.

The Belize Barrier Reef

On December 28th, I will be headed to the Belize Barrier Reef to get an up-close look at its wildlife, and also to see how the ecosystem is being affected by global warming. I will be snorkeling with a group of like-minded folk, and we'll also be checking out some Mayan ruins. I hope that you'll check back here as often as you can, and leave me many comments to reply to. It'll be a fun trip! Hope you'll join me.

Here's where I'll be. If you zoom in on the image, you can see that Ambergris Cay is an small island off of Belize, and that's where I'll be most of the time. We'll snorkel about twice a day to check out the wildlife and the reef. The Belize Reef is actually the top of a 25,000 ft drop-off. And I'll be standing right on top of it! Cool!
