At POLITICO Pro's Technology Deep Dive: Immigration, Technology and the 113th Congress
(sponsored by Cognizant) an industry association power panel discussed how immigration reform can be a catalyst for U.S. global competitiveness. Moderated by POLITICO Pro's Technogy Editor, Elizabeth Wasserman (far left), featured speakers (from left to right) included): John Engler, President of the Business Roundtable; Dean Garfield, President & CEO, Information Technology Industry Council; and Gary Simpson, President & CEO, Consumer Electronics Association.You can watch a replay of the conversation here: cogniz.at/13Gr4WM
The wreck of the Mama Viña sits upright in about 30m/96ft of water, ever defying the prevailing current with a turn in to the port side. This steel hulled trawler was intentionally sunk in 1996 after having suffered extensive damage while running aground during a hurricane. Located just south of Xcaret, the sunken vessel is often host to barracuda, jacks, and other schooling fish. The current here can be quite strong at times. While the Mama Viña makes an excellent introduction to wreck diving, recreational divers not trained in overhead environments should avoid entering the open foreward pump bay and central corridors. Although the wreck has only spent a few years on the sea floor, coral and stinging hydroids have quite effectively covered most all surfaces. Gloves and a long wetsuit are highly recommended. This is not a difficult dive, but given the depth, potential for current, overhead environment, and possibility of entanglement or separation, it should be considered an advanced site.
The day of the dive, there was no wind, the sea was extremely calm and no current at the surface. There was a small drift at the bottom. The vessel exploration was a lot of fun. I couldn’t get into the engine chamber at it was too tight getting in with my camera.
Equipment used: Ikelite Housing, Nikon D200, Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 @ f/9, 2 Strobes (Ikelite DS-50 and Nikonos SB-105) all in manual control.

Saddleback Clown Fish
Yellow Anemone Fish
Stichodactyla haddoni
Haddon’s Sea Anemone
This school of anemone fish was living on a Haddon’s Sea Anemone. Usually this arrangement with Haddon’s makes the fish lighter in color. A conical shell was right next to their anemone. The anemone fish attached all their eggs to it. If you zoom in on this photo (flic.kr/p/29F64B9) you can see algae growing on the eggs. The parents (breeding pair) were cleaning the eggs constantly with their mouths.

Shooting my my S-95 (Cannon Powershot), I filmed these two eels. I took several photos one that is also posted here. The male was making very aggressive movements with his head which dissuaded me for doing more imaging.

This was my first time getting bit by cleaner wrasse. Most of the other sites I dive the cleaner wrasse don't actually interact much with divers. This fish might have been somewhat hungry. I didn't see a great "cleaning station." Cleaning stations are places where other bigger fish come and "park" so that the cleaner wrasse can pick off parasites. Maybe I looked especially dirty. It wasn't terrible pain, but unexpected and created some anxiety about trying to take photos in that area.

The wreck of the Mama Viña sits upright in about 30m/96ft of water, ever defying the prevailing current with a turn in to the port side. This steel hulled trawler was intentionally sunk in 1996 after having suffered extensive damage while running aground during a hurricane. Located just south of Xcaret, the sunken vessel is often host to barracuda, jacks, and other schooling fish. The current here can be quite strong at times. While the Mama Viña makes an excellent introduction to wreck diving, recreational divers not trained in overhead environments should avoid entering the open foreward pump bay and central corridors. Although the wreck has only spent a few years on the sea floor, coral and stinging hydroids have quite effectively covered most all surfaces. Gloves and a long wetsuit are highly recommended. This is not a difficult dive, but given the depth, potential for current, overhead environment, and possibility of entanglement or separation, it should be considered an advanced site.

Located just south of Xcaret, the sunken vessel is often host to barracuda, jacks, and other schooling fish. The current here can be quite strong at times. While the Mama Viña makes an excellent introduction to wreck diving, recreational divers not trained in overhead environments should avoid entering the open foreward pump bay and central corridors. Although the wreck has only spent a few years on the sea floor, coral and stinging hydroids have quite effectively covered most all surfaces. Gloves and a long wetsuit are highly recommended. This is not a difficult dive, but given the depth, potential for current, overhead environment, and possibility of entanglement or separation, it should be considered an advanced site.
The day of the dive, there was no wind, the sea was extremely calm and no current at the surface. There was a small drift at the bottom. The vessel exploration was a lot of fun. I couldn’t get into the engine chamber at it was too tight getting in with my camera.
Equipment used: Ikelite Housing, Nikon D200, Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 @ f/9, 2 Strobes (Ikelite DS-50 and Nikonos SB-105) all in manual control.
The wreck of the Mama Viña sits upright in about 30m/96ft of water, ever defying the prevailing current with a turn in to the port side. This steel hulled trawler was intentionally sunk in 1996 after having suffered extensive damage while running aground during a hurricane.

One of the first species snorkelers and divers see. These demoiselle fish are omnipresent and photogenic. Here is a closeup:

This was my first time getting bit by cleaner wrasse. Most of the other sites I dive the cleaner wrasse don't actually interact much with divers. This fish might have been somewhat hungry. I didn't see a great "cleaning station." Cleaning stations are places where other bigger fish come and "park" so that the cleaner wrasse can pick off parasites. Maybe I looked especially dirty. It wasn't terrible pain, but unexpected and created some anxiety about trying to take photos in that area.

Saddleback Clown Fish
Yellow Anemone Fish
Stichodactyla haddoni
Haddon’s Sea Anemone
This school of anemone fish was living on a Haddon’s Sea Anemone. Usually this arrangement with Haddon’s makes the fish lighter in color. A conical shell was right next to their anemone. The anemone fish attached all their eggs to it. If you zoom in on this photo (flic.kr/p/29F64B9) you can see algae growing on the eggs. The parents (breeding pair) were cleaning the eggs constantly with their mouths.
