As I have seen that lots of readers have enjoyed my dive pics here are some more : thoses where taken 3 days ago a a german wreck sunken by a british submarine in 1944 ... but hopefully some watch content also ;)

a view of the wreck going down

a morey eel in the wreck

flying over the wreck : that is the magic of diving

you can spot the SD on my wrist ;)

alone over the structure

The "owners" of the wreck 2 groupers

and after a final "fly" over the wreck

it is time to leave for surface

deco stop on my Nitrox 80 pony bottle

and back to surface

total dive time : 60 minutes, 15 minutes of deco (taking a large margin , with the 80% O2 I had only 8 minutes needed) depth 118 ft

I"M a dive enthusiast, your a dive madman!! Nobody has matching his/her re breathers. You have to be some kind of pro, military or ex military French Special Forces, or maybe the newphew of Jock Cousteau. Each RB costs about $15,000. Your not telling us everything, and thats OK.

Subfiend · 24 August 2009, 05:12 AM

Perfect. Thank you!

STEELINOX · 24 August 2009, 05:28 AM

the only treasure I "hunt" underwater is wildlife
hoping my kids can enjoy it in the future .... but when I see the catastrophic behavoir of mankind with the ocean, I have less and less hopes

Splendid. Some fine under water photography there.

Subfiend · 24 August 2009, 08:20 AM

Not that anyone cares what I think, but I have to say that I am delighted that: (1) somebody took the time to go diving with their Sub and/or SD, and (2) they took the time to share their experience on this forum. Thank you very much!
