		<description><![CDATA[My most popular pic on Flickr right now, almost 9,000 views: The largest living fish species, the whale shark is a filter feeding shark, feeding on plankton, algae and krill. I was therefore in very little danger when I took this shot, although they can grow quite large (this specimen was about 12-14 m (36-40 [...]]]></description>

Scheduling this trip proved to be a bit of a challenge as I was on a business trip in Hamburg the week before the event took place. I traveled from San [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rob, a friend from work, had been recommending me to dive in the Yucatan area for a while, and in particular to dive a cenote. I finally got to follow his advice and dive my first cenote today, and what an experience it was. A cenote, or d&#8217;zenot (sacred well) in Maya, is a collapsed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I rented a digital underwater camera, an Olympus Camedia 3000 with an external strobe.&#160;&#160; I had used disposable underwater cameras before but this was my first try with a &#8220;real&#8221; camera. The big difference is the strobe.&#160;Because sea water filters out reds, pictures taken without flash come out with a bluish tint. This time, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people really should not dive. After your initial dive training, you get a certification card, or C-card. Mind you, unlike a driver license, once you have a C-card it never expires and cannot be revoked. Unfortunately, maybe. This makes some sense, though: at the wheel of a car you could hurt many more people [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll need to mail in some paperwork, pay my annual dues and liability insurance and I&#8217;ll receive my authentic Divemaster card! This was different than the Rescue Diver training [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I went on the so-called &#8220;fast-boat&#8221;. It&#8217;s not really that much faster as we leave at 8am, half-an-hour before the regular boat, and return only an hour earlier. It is however taking a maximum of eight divers and a single divemaster, and therefore less crowded. We went to Santa Rosa Wall, then Tormentos Reef. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My Divemaster training is progressing. I took some of the theory exams (physiology, conducting Divemaster programs, handling students) and I think I did OK on them. I&#8217;ll take the remaining ones tomorrow. I&#8217;m also beeing graded by Gabriel on the practical portion of the course. I don&#8217;t know the results yet, but Gabriel seems happy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m getting used to the climate. In fact, it doesn&#8217;t bother me at all anymore. I&#8217;ve decided that air conditionners are works of the Devil. In a hot weather like in Cozumel, using air conditionners is asking for a cold, with the large temperature gradient between air conditionned rooms and the outside. I&#8217;ve unplugged the [...]]]></description>
