Notes: | Neva and I rode over to Cayo Coco from our Playa Paredon resort in a 1957 Chevrolet! We arrived and in time to meet a few other divers and head out to sea. Dive higlights included petting a nurse shark that had just been fed some lionfish that our divemaster speared. We also saw a couple wrecks, one of which Neva swam through. There was a memorial to a diver who had donated a bunch of gear to be left at the reef. | ||||
