Two weeks! Forget snorkeling. Take a open water course and enjoy the ocean. It's really easy and you'll love it.
Only time I've seen a diver throw up inside the water was because he was still drunk and it happen just when he enter the water... don't believe everything you ear.

Everyone is definitely in except my wife :/

And the Teide?

It has been very hazy here and I haven't seen it yet. We are staying in Guimar facing Grand Canary and haven't seen that either this trip. Normally you would be able to see the other island from here.

I hope that 1st and 2nd pic isn't the before and after. :D

Haha, no we found that guy trying to sneak in after we got home.

Tomorrow we go deep sea fishing. Super excited! The bill fish are running so I hope to catch a nice one. In the afternoon they switch to small tackle for other fish.

That sounds great!! It's been years since I've been out deep sea fishing. Last time we went we were going out to the gulf stream but the waves were too bad from an off shore storm so only a few boats were going deep sea. It was so bad that you couldn't keep your bait on the bottom. The boat would ride one wave up,then crash down into the next wave. We were all soaked.I think there was 30 of us on the boat and at least 15 or so never even picked up a rod due to being sick the entire time. My dad and myself have never gotten sick but we always stick to the same routine; Eat breakfast an hour or so before we ship out and take two Dramamine pills.

Hope you have a good time and be prepared for some sore arms from reeling them in. :)

Thanks a lot! We were really worried about sea sickness, too. We have Dramamine and I'll make sure everyone eats tomorrow before we hit the road. Hoping for some nice pics to post up by end of day tomorrow!

Good Teide pic! One thing I like at that island is being able to be at the pool/beach and in a few minutes go up the volcano and find snow... :)
About the sea sick pills try to take 1 hour before entering the boat and be careful about dosage because usually they give sleep.

Semi-successful day fishing. The boat only caught sting rays all day. But I caught one small one as did my wife, then she hooked onto one but didn't want to fight it so she gave the rod to me. It took over a half hour, but I finally landed a four footer:

I was hoping for some game fish, but not a hit when we were trawling. Tempted to do it one more time, but don't think anyone else in the group is down :/

Nice sting ray. You'll need a bigger tank for that!!!
