That will make my 9th visit to what is often thought of as, the best "drift diving" destination in the world.
The upcoming trip will tie Cozumel with Bonaire, as the destination that we have visited more than anywhere else in the world.
But I probably have fewer pictures from here than anywhere we have been.
There are reasons for that. Four of my trips to Cozumel were "BC" (before camera).
Most of the trips I have made there were as a group or with new divers to teach. Situations that give you lots to do, without adding a camera to the mix.
Last but certainly not least, it's drift diving, always a challenge for a photographer.
This is my friend Cal Van Essen, an accomplished photographer, at work.
Looks like he found a sheltered spot or it was one of those rare days with a soft current.
You can see his bubbles going straight up vs the more common sight, for Cozumel, of bubbles streaming ahead of you with the current.
Look at the great buoyancy control. Hovering just above the reef, even as he focuses his attention on his subject.
