Showed and Told....


This evening, despite the snowstorm, a dozen Club members met to hear travellers' tales about warmer dive sites. Marc-Etienne and Donovan led off with descriptions of diving in Cuba. Their photographs, using an underwater camera for the first time, drew praise from everyone present. Jeffy then expanded on our knowledge of Cuba with some well-chosen remarks on diving there.

Cozumel was dealt with by Billy, who drew on some great material prepared by Jenny. Because of constraints on time, a second contribution, from Jim and Tracey, had to be put on hold for another gathering.

Adam closed the evening with a superbly shot video depicting a recent trip to the Mexican mainland and the cave complexes of Tulum - south of Playa del Carmen. His images brought the whole experience to life - and inspired almost everyone to consider a caving experience at some future time. His closing shots, taken on a night dive on a coral reef, were a great end to a successful evening.

The contributions of all concerned were well thought through and very informative. Many thanks to everyone involved.
