    I don't see the problem with floaters. I float, too - even with two aluminum 80-cf tanks, I needed 16 pounds of lead ballast to keep me comfortably underwater on the Boca Chica reefs. Maybe it's too much fizz in those Presidentes; I had to tighten up my BC harness considerably when we got down to 134 feet on my deepest-yet dive, Wednesday afternoon.

    There's always next time, if you want to do a "next time" in Boca Chica.

    The Garant definitely looks nice, but has any one ever stayed recently at the Zapata Hotel? I vaguely remember some people praising the place years ago.
