The Sea of Cortez, sometimes called the Gulf of California, is accessed by flying into Phoenix for a shuttle ride down to Puerto Penasco. Twenty divers from NCRD chartered the boat for a week of diving pleasure. It was also the maiden voyage for my new Canon S100 and underwater case. By all accounts this is the hottest compact camera on the market for underwater photography. Only got to take a few shots before an abrupt end to the trip and a visit to the chamber and a special flight to San Diego for more Doctors and tests. Pronounced fit and ready to dive again. Since the DCS happened without any bad things happening on the dive, will be super cautious and build in extra safety margin in all my next dives.
