Underwater pics

For all those that snorkel or scuba with your watches on lets see some pics Would I be too much of an enthusiast if I actually expect people to have these kinds of pictures??

Here's a wrist shot of my SD in action. I'm around 100 feet down and throwing a bit of light across the crystal with my HID can light.

Beautiful underwater pictures subfiend! The one with all the hammerheads going by is such a majestic picture.

These is one of the more special pictures I have seen here on TRF. A sub in its true natural habitat.

The crystal on the second pic looks like the crystal on the DeapSea.

Those pictures, subfiend, surely are 2 of the best photos. Your sub going sub - fantastic AND a brilliant shot of the sharks.

Amazingly, too, that there was no sign of JJ down there.

I'm not 100% b/c it was probably close to 10 years ago but I want to say that pic was taken at either Cow spring or Paradise spring.

LOL! It's strange but I would feel anxiety dropping my SubDate in a glass of water, yet have no fear taking it swimming.
