The ultimate diving and snorkeling thread!

[saltyhog]

It's my experience that a lot of reefers are also divers. Let's use this thread as place to share our love for diving, pictures from our dives, gear recommendations and reviews of great places to dive!

Here's a few pictures from my most recent trip to Little Cayman.




We all know what this guy is.

Cool pics, love that purple sea fan.
I got certified in 78, which means 2 things, I'm old, and most of my dives were before everyone had gopro's and good cameras!

LOL! I wish I had discovered diving and reefing that long ago (reefing in 2012 and diving in 2014 at age 57). I like taking pictures and video during a dive. My wife didn't at first but she likes to take pictures now. So we now have two cameras!

I was 12 when I started and 14 in 78, earliest age you can get certified and I could not wait.
There were some good things back then, but gear was not one of them!
You are in a better time.

I wish I had bought a GoPro last year when I got certified scuba in Guam. I have plenty of pictures in my memories though!

I love clicking through my pictures and videos on cold winter nights when I'm stuck indoors.

I currently live in Hawaii (Oahu), and also a certified diver. I've got a whole hard drive full of pictures! Used the GI Bill to fund my diving certs, which included the gear so I didn't have to pay a penny towards it!

Since Photobucket stopped 3rd party hosting the easiest way I've found is to open your picture in photobucket then right click on it and save it to a folder in pictures. You can then imbed it in a thread here the same way you do any other picture!

These are some old snorkeling pictures from Maui with a crappy camera. Thought they were worth posting nonetheless. They are from around Molokini and from Kamaole III lining the shore of Kihei. We stayed in Kihei and it was awesome each morning to walk across the street and right down into the shallow reef among the lava rock.








This is "Tom" the spider that lived on the patio of our rented condo.

Wow! That's a real turtle closeup!

 

[NY_Caveman]

Thanks. We were lucky that day. They were all around us.

I love to be beneath the sea . . . haven't been on SCUBA for a couple of years, because of a frog which seems to have taken up permanent residence at the base of my throat / top of my lungs, but still get to go snorkeling from time to time.

Sometimes, the adventures begin even before you reach the dive site:

And sometimes, the wildlife wants to get a good look at you. Wanna pet a shark?:
