Journal >> Previous Entry: 12/01/02 >> 12/01/2002 >> Next Entry: 12/03/02 Posted at 09:20 PM PST: "The Coronados" I spent the day yesterday on a boat in Mexican waters with James Wiseman. We went out with Lois Ann Dive Charters to the Coronado Islands, where we played with juvenile sea lions in fifty feet of visibility. It's $85 to motor out there for three dives, breakfast, and lunch -- a fantastic deal! I dove for the first time with Sitech dry gloves, and they ROCK. I was very warm and had full dexterity in my fingers. :) I'm never going back to cold-water wetsuit diving.At one of the sites (Lobster Shack?), James and I played with and photographed a group of seven juvenile female sea lions until we noticed that everyone else was on the boat, watching us. It's easy to lose track of time when you're having so much fun. :) Unfortunately, many of my photos came out blurry; those sea lions move really fast, and using the crappiest auto-focus system in Canon's line of SLRs has its disadvantages. Oh well. I still managed to get a few that I really like. :) James has also posted a trip report. Photos ->

wow...those are great photos. you are too awesome!! posted by susan @ 12/03/2002 07:06 pm PST Beautiful pics!! Especially the one of Leslie....oh, that's me!! My first underwater portrait. Thank you Eric. Had a great time, awesome weather and magical waters. Well worth it. Hope our paths cross again, soon. posted by Leslie Robinson @ 12/02/2002 12:15 pm PST That looks like a fun trip. I've never been in the water with sea lions or seals but they look like fun as long as they're non-agressive. BTW, I recently put some of my photos up on Pbase, including the UW shots from Malaysia. http://www.pbase.com/davepinca I'm off to Hawaii Fri. for some diving, but still checking for reasonable efares to Australia :) posted by DaveP @ 12/01/2002 11:13 pm PST |
