Good morning all, my internet is out at home so I am unable to send any e-mails out, I am doing this from our computer at work!  Living in Curacao has really made Aimee and I aware of how much we take the basic life essentials for granted. There are many days here when the power is out all day, we have no gas for the car, internet comes and goes on a daily basis and tying to get something fixed like the t.v, or car can be just plain crazy. Aimee is off today and will try and get someone to come fix our DSL but I told her good-luck with that.

Yesterday we did two training dives during the day but the visibility here is still terrible!  Our first dive was down to 100 feet and soon after we spotted a big Lionfish that we had planned on going back to catch on the second dive but never found him due to poor visibility. We have coral researchers here at the moment from all over the World getting ready for the late night coral spawning that will take place this week.  I think tonight is the first night but not sure yet if I am able to make it, having some camera-flash problems.

Here’s a beautiful Iguana we have at work, he sits right there on that rock most of the day basking in the sun.

Sorry so short, see you back here tomorrow, Barry
