The awesome picture thread

Recommended Posts

....was placing rock near the small Military base few days gone......and heard  this NOISE  !!

...then it became obvious what the noise was all about...with the rotary winged aircraft sneaking down the river then spray flying up off the water......landed nearby and another  two aircraft arrived...Made a change from the normal routine of rock placing....

My wife took this one from behind me the other day that I didn't know about or I would have waved at her with one finger.

I call the unfair contest, there's no way I'm holding my breath to get any pics!  That I I don't think I could handle not knowing what's just out of eyesight, I've seen Jaws!  I went to universal studios as a kid and that ride with Jaws coming at me on my side was all it took!

I'm with you, that stuff isn't for me either.  I'm fearless with a lot of stuff, even had the nickname Feerless by a few people.

that blue looks almost fake. That’s amazing.

The Water here is remarkably clear, calm, and 81 degrees.  I did not edit or change the pictures , it really is amazing.  
Saw a couple whales today but i couldn’t tell for sure what kind. Most of the sharks are just Black tips and are not really that interested in us. They circle a few times, look at you and move on.

No holding your breath here, those pictures were taken at 70 feet deep. 
 

We do however try to breath slowly and calmly so not to blast a big bubble of air and noise to spook them away. 
 

Most close up pictures of fish that you see in books were either taken by someone using a rebreather or were taken in an aquarium.  The close up pictures of the Manta Rays i posted did require me to hold my breath but its highly un advised. Lol

water would’ve had a brown tinge if I’d been there and seen sharks
