Great pix!!! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks maybe i will tka e my camera on one of the many night dives we do. Never don't that before. I will also be recording what they call the West Bay Express it where we take underwater scooters and go around the west side of island which is around 5 miles long one dive. I really hope this video turns out because it will be really cool. It will be taken with my GoPro

I did my first open water dives a couple years ago in Kona. On the third of the four dive for my certification we were at a site called The Arches. We had gone from the boat out to the rock arches and were just looking around before heading back towards the boat when two huge manta rays passed directly above us heading towards our boat. Naturally we followed in behind them all the way back, about ten minutes swimming along behind them.

took up diving years ago (learned to dive in Australia on the GBR) photo skills weren't as good as they are now.

Big dreams of seeing a whale shark one day though!

wow those are some great shots thank you for sharing

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
