PHOTO: Our small boat proved to be much too small and dangerously inadequate for this type of expedition. Several dives were canceled for lack of a safe means of transportation. We will soon launch a fundraising campaign in order to help us acquire a large and seaworthy vessel for 2010. Photo © GEERG / Jeffrey Gallant / All Rights Reserved
