Default More Scuba Fun

Finally getting a chance to post a few pictures from last weekend's dive.

My dive buddies with a playground turtle
Light from the surface
A school of fish
This fish followed us around and when we turned around, he acted like he was doing something else

Some crazy looking algae

Your underwater photography is improving! Did you buy a new camera?

Love the adventure --- so happy you've found such a great passion!

Nice pictures. My husband is diving this weekend. Getting his "rescue diver" certification. He wants me to get certified. I went diving on our honeymoon 10 years ago(was skinny then) and enjoyed it. But kept wanting to wait to get certified until I lost some weight. Being 70lbs down I guess I seriously should start thinking about it again.

I am jealous, I love snorkeling in water where I can see my feet. We went snorkeling in the Turks and Caicos a few years ago, it was fantastic! But I am terrified to try scuba diving. I have no idea why.

The picture of the light is wonderful. We got close to hawkbill turtles in T&C and they tried to bite our hands off!

Thanks Katie! It is the same camera I had on the last dive, but the water clarity was better and I learned to turn the flash off for most pictures. The flash picks up every little particle in the water.

Tell him "congratulations" on his rescue diver certification!!! I am considering that one, but I probably will not do it with the same Dive shop I have been going through. Nice people... just not organized enough for me. You should definitely consider getting certified. It would be a great activity to do together!

Thanks! It's surprising how close the fish let you get to them.
