Photos from our dive trip
 

I added a new album with photos from our recent dive trip to the Caymans. We have dozens more, but these were just a few cool ones we went through and processed last night. I am pasting the photos into the post, but the explanation of what each one is can be found in the album. My neck hurts too much to type it all in again. Sorry... Enjoy!

Those are amazing pictures. Thanks for sharing!

If you are pointing at that shark, how come you're not in the picture? LOL:eek:

What is that beautiful tourquois fauna? Is that a fish?

Thank you, I am sooooooo jealous!!!:)

The turquoise fauna is actually a "purple anemone". The blue color of the photo is what it looks like at depth due to the physics of light refraction by water. As you go down, you gradually lose the colors of the spectrum, and red, orange, and yellow are the first to go. When we took a picture using the underwater strobe of that same anemone, it was a brilliant purple color. I like the blue color of the naturally lit version better.

I was about 3 feet to thr right of the photographer pointing out the bigger shark behind the closer one. We do have a picture of me on the other side of a large tagged turtle. I will see if I can get it posted tonight or tomorrow.

Oh they are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing them with us. You have motivated me to get off my duff and start seeing some of the wonders of our world. Thank you.

Wow! Fabulous photos. Thank you for sharing.

wow - those are amazing .. love the purple sky!!

hmm - have copies made and send to National Geographics ... these are great!

Great Pictures! I really like the Anemone. After a while a Shark is just a Shark.

Yeah, but seeing them up close used to be pretty rare in the Sister Islands before they started spearing the lionfish. Now, even if you aren't spearing, they will wander over to look around and aren't in a hurry to run away. I wish I had a picture to show what that anemone looked like from a distance. We had fairly bright sunshine coming in at about 35-40' down and that thing was lit up like a big blue beacon among the coral.

I was going to post a few pictures from Florida and Fiji, but I can't figure out how. So, no pictures.
