jmq, thanks for the link. It was a good break from work. I liked the turtle just hanging out and the random couple that swam by (looked like VickyH and her hubby).

On another note, what happened to our Lady Knights??!!

Thank you so much for sharing the video. I did my "get over the fear of diving or die trying" intro dive with Collete in that very spot. Your video took me right back there!

Jerseyboy re RU
Yikes - sad but pround of that young team.
What happened? Combo of deer in the headlights; forgeting that in addition to boxing out, you got to go get the rebound; and yes Stringer got outcoached (too much zone, how about some high pick/roll or some weaves up top to beat that defense?) All that said, down 7 with about 8:30 to go and with possesion of the ball, had a real chance if someone stepped up and hit a big shot. Instead, turn it over and TN hits 2 threes - bingo, down by 13, game over.
Next year, RU = top 10 in football, top 10 in womens basketball, top 20 in mens soccer.

Nice video! The only places we saw water that clear were when we snorkeled off of the boat.

Did you guys see the video by the same guy about freediving at Christmas Cove? Another nice video. We visited Christmas Cove with Captain Phil and the snorkeling was great.

Time to start working on convincing the wife that we have to go back soon!

Great video! I loved the introduction of the "reluctant tour guides" too! :D

Loved the turtle. Jerseyboy, I WISH that had been me, but I haven't made it to Haulover North yet. Flip-Flop - I need to add that to my list of "must dos" for the next trip!

Great video!
We are bringing the kids for the first time in 2 months and it will be their first time snorkeling at a reef. I can't wait to show it to them to get them excited for the trip!
