Metal detecting in a foreign country?

Re: Metal detecting in a foreign country?

Well, We made it back... and short of a $200 bribe to the policia for driving without a seat-belt, we stayed out of the clink. It was a wild week with alot of incredible memories. We dove 4 times and even did my first 90' wreck dive. The wreck was the120' long C-56 Mexican Navy ship that was purposely sunk as an artificial reef. I found out what fire coral feels like on that dive. We helped the Mexican AIF agents get their suburban unstuck. We pushed and my wife drove it while sittingĀ  next to their sub machineguns. No they did not let me shoot them for repayment. We saw a couple scorpion fish. We saw a huge Green Moray (about 14" from top of his head to the bottom and later on the diveboat the divemaster said it was over 3 meters long.) We saw several stingrays but no eagle-rays. We saw a Frigate bird flying over the very crowded beach with an eel in its mouth. (there was alot of screaming and running sunbathers underneath it). I took 8 rolls of film underwater and Mexican security made me run them through the X-ray at the airport and they were kinda screwed up. I did bring both metal detectors down there but I only used them on the beach. On the photos below: the first one is me, the second one is the divemaster holding a scorpion fish, the third one is Jeff and me (I'm the one posing with no regulator at 90') ;D, and the last one is swimming through the wreck. The one memory that I cant currently forget is the rash and blisters on the side of my knee from that damned fire coral.
