Diving In Cozumel, Mexico

 We just returned from a diving/family trip to Cozumel, Mexico.  It was a nice trip with some relaxing drift dives.  We dove at Tormentos, Chakanaub, Palancar Gardens, Delilah, Columbia, Cedar Gardens, and  Santa Rosa Walls.  Two Fish did two dives off of the dock at Fiestamericana as well. The Columbia and Santa Rosa Walls were my favorite.  There was some beautiful orange soft coral and yellow sponges and some great swim throughs.  There was a lot of life on the reefs and they were buzzing with life.  We saw a lot of turtles, eels and lobster.  It was fun to be with my family and spend some time under the water.
