farothel Posted August 19, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 19, 2023 Any scuba divers around here. I've been doing it for 25 years now and I've taken loads of pictures. Here's one of my latest of a little clownfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki Stumpy Posted August 19, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 19, 2023 That's lovely. I've not been diving in donkey's years. Most of the time when I'm away it's inland on a motorbike generally somewhere remote (so not much opportunity to dive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farothel Posted August 19, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted August 19, 2023 my next trip is to Lembeh (Indonesia) for the Hugycup (a shoot-out photo contest). I've been there already quite a few times (and the pic above is from there). Mostly small stuff, so doing wide angle shots will be a bit tricky, but we'll have to try.

Butchern Posted August 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 21, 2023 Wow. That's awesome! I'm a redneck, so the closest thing we get to scuba diving is swimming in a scummy pond in our cutoff jeans. Beautiful picture! Post more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted August 23, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 23, 2023 I haven't ever qualified for scuba, but if I did this would be the type of thing I would love to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farothel Posted August 24, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted August 24, 2023 it's a lot of fun, floating around, looking at little fishes (or big fishes). But it isn't cheap, especially if you go on diving holidays (although every hobby costs money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farothel Posted September 21, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted September 21, 2023 Flying turtle. Lucky with the lighting and the fact it was going up to breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted September 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 21, 2023 That water is just impossibly blue. Well shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki Stumpy Posted September 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 21, 2023 That is an awesome shot. Hell, I'd get that framed and up on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farothel Posted September 21, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted September 21, 2023 this was back in 2007 on Key Largo, Florida. My first out of Europe diving trip and my first trip with an underwater camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
