That photo of the island looks like Cook Islands. Those are great pictures, especially the Manta Rays!

My whole dive today was with a shark...didn't leave our sides. He was following along in hopes of being fed some lion fish...So awesome!

Incredible shots, I really need to get a strobe for my camera. I have to get over to Asia and do some diving.

The strobe makes such a huge difference.

So we went diving today i only used my go pro so no still shots we dived Lost treasure and Oro Verde which is a wreck. On tuesday i will have more photos has anyone eve take photos of fish on a night dive with the strobe worried it may blast them out of the water when it flashes.

Forgot to mention that we had a nurse shark on the first dive and we drove 10 minutes to a new dive site and 15 minutes in the same shark showed up.

I'm trying to get out diving at least once a year now. Extremely jealous of the whale shark haha. everywhere I go I have high hopes on seeing one and most of my dive destinations are known for whale shark spotting's. Maybe next year

Been taking lots of photos lately. Diving this trip has been really good so lots of photos.

































A very very rare coral called Pillar Coral


























My camera settings were pretty screwed up so all of my shots were super dark. I had to do lots of editing to get them somewhat the right colour so thats why they don't look as good as my original ones
