Our dive boat with "Dive Key West". Both of our dives will be in the Western Sambos Eco Reserve. The first dive site is referred to as "Haystacks". The water was not terribly clear and it was pretty surgy. But we did see lots of pretty coral and fish, and the surge made for some really interesting sand formations on the bottom. We each had new 3 mil wet suits, which felt pretty good in the 69 degree water.

Back in the water at our second dive site, also in the Reserve. This site is known as Marker 32. We had 2 foot swells, which makes getting in and out of the water a challenge. This was a shallow 35 foot dive. We did see better fish, including a really cool spotted eel and lots of fan and tube coral.

Picture of Machu Picchu, or "Old Peak", a pre-Columbian, 15th centurey Inca site located 7970 feet above sea level. It is located in the Cusco Region of Peru, South America. Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Incan people, and known world wide as one of the 7 Wonders of the New World.
