I swear this guy is perfectly safe to touch. Fortunately it turned out not to just be a Becky-fact®.

A victim of the dive shop van. There were so many mariposa fluttering across the road that they were difficult to avoid.

This “little” guy has a major stinger on his bum and I can’t believe Rodrigo picked him up!

Every new cenote we visit seems to be our new favorite. This one is called Pet Cemetery.

After some very dark swim-throughs we reached this amazing underground Island.

It looks like you could skate across the ice-like surface, but it’s not that cold with our thick wetsuits.

This lady has your vote for sure David Balam.

I want free stuff! yayyyyy

The winner. Mostly because he’s painted the town.

Cenotes are entrances to a giant underground river system running through large parts of the Yucatan Peninsula. We’re about to go explore this particular one called “Dream Gate.”

Jump into a dark hole in the ground? Sure thing! Don’t mind if I do.

A beautiful lightshow is the payoff for some “adventurous” passages.

No, I will not stop smiling on the way back from that amazing cenote dive at Dos Ojos in Tulum, Mexico with Paolo and Cenote Diving Tulum.

The ruins in Tulum. Not a bad setting to learn about Mayan culture.

Proud, not so little, iguana hanging out between the rocks in the ruins.

In yo face, ruins.

Home away from home, found parked outside the local Chedraui super market. Notice the fully functional shower and shower curtain rod.

Full moon rising, on almost the longest day of the year, and with stars shining bright.

The Dancers mezcal will make you dance! Thanks Leon, for sharing with us your city, home, beach, art, and more.

We conquered Cancun!

Rock n’ roll is not dead in Cancun.

We packed as much fun into 2.5 days as we could, now it’s time to load back on to the last ferry for the night and head back to Cancun.

Working hard or hardly working? Unload us from this boat right now, we have an island full of adventures to get to!

Squeezing by semi trucks to find the ramp to get to the passenger area is kinda nuts.

The crazy jungle offroad trail out to the north point lighthouse on Cozumel. Sand, water, rocks, mosquitos, dogs, and guards found here; basically all my favorites in one place.

Andrew takes a ride on a ray.

A baby stingray hiding under some sand.

Space Capsule? Submarine?

There’s room for six with all these oxygen masks, so climb in!

Full of fun wires, gadgets, and levers.

Carlos, the best Couchsurfing host, at his place of work at the decompression medical clinic in San Miguel, Cozumel.

The Palancar Caves in Cozumel. An amazing dive with colorful coral, kissing fish, fun swim throughs, and a huge drop off the back side.

Our dive guide, Andreas, who lost his boss underwater, but only because she was on a mission to pick up trash and could not find us again.

Oh hey there.

I’m a big black fish with yellow spots and I never leave my mate. Who am I? No really, I forgot the name of this fish…
