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.

MUSA, Isla Mujeres, Mexico			N 21° 12.1', W 86° 44.0'
Dive Number 188		Buddy Gerry	Surface temp 23°C	Starting pressure 3200psi
Depth 25ft	Visibility very good	Time 47m	Water temp 24°C	Ending pressure 1500psi
Notes:	We had managed to book a short Cancun getaway with Ursula and Gerry and the one dive that is considered a must is the Museo Subacuático de Arte (MUSA). We dove with an outfit called Aquaworld and our check in time of 7:30 required us to depart our resort shortly after 6am (for Gerry this was equivalent to 4am Pacific Time and for me a slightly less draconian departure of 7am EST). We dove without wetsuits (me bearing 8 lbs weight for salt water) and were rewarded with a few large schools of grunt, French and queen angelfish, and a curious turtle, in addition to the underwater statues.
