The Wreck: Part I
A giant stride got us into the water, and we headed to the white, white sandy bottom. We could feel the current pushing us, impeding our forward progress. Not too much but just enough to make us kick stronger than usual.
In all the years we've been diving in Cozumel, Greg and I have never been to the wreck. It's listed in our Cozumel Dive Guide & Log Book. We've talked about diving the wreck almost every time we've been here but we never have.
As I waited for Greg to white balance the video camera against the white sandy bottom, I took stock of our surroundings. 
I didn't see the wreck, which was a little puzzling. It was more likely the particles in the water rather than not being dropped in the right place.

If everything went well and we liked what we saw, we figured we could dive it again with them.
We continued to follow Pingo, heading south to the wreck. As if a sheer veil lifted in front of us, a small, roundish reef, teeming with fish, appeared before us. It was an oasis in the white sandy desert. It's rather interesting that this reef seems to be the only thing here as I still haven't seen the wreck.
After just a few minutes perusing the small reef and the active fish, we follow Pingo to the right of the reef. Then, a dark shape looming just in front of us catches my eye. The closer we get, the more distinct it is--we've found the wreck.

While you're diving in the sunken vessel, let me know if you find Capt. Morgan. My stash is running low. I used Anon Ymous as my name but you know who it is.
