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.

I have pics of me scuba diving and I have pics of my SD but none with me scuba diving with my SD. I need to get to work on that.

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

You put just kidding, but you are actually 100% correct. The pic was taken at Montery Bay Aquarium and I was standing in front of the glass.

Still a cool pic though

It was the polite thing to do Mole.

But you're right it is a cool picture.
