Bay Area Diver's Cruise 12/2001

Summary
This trip was sponsored by the Bay Area Diver and Houston Underwater Club and was a 7 day cruise aboard the Royal Caribbean ship Rhapsody of the Seas. The trip leaders were J. Taylor and D. Cawthon. Diving was done at 3 day stop locations Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Key West. All dive operators were select by the dive clubs prior to the trip and were not arrange through the cruise line. I used all my own gear including weights which made for some long heavy hauling in Cozumel from the pier to the boat's pick up and drop off  locations. Also, the wet suit was a little ripe by the end of the trip.
