Looks like ya had a ball! Having never dived water warmer than 20 and almost all my diving being in 10-14 I can't imagine the ease of diving in mid twenties...

Must get to the tropics next year!

Interesting wet suit you've got on there!

I must say, I do like the diving in Raro. It's certainly not the best in the world, but it's always good, and just sooooo easy.

If you go out from the south of the island, head to around the 55m mark, there's a mental drop off down to 2000 meters. It's just beautiful looking down into it...
