Todd:

You know what they say - everything is bigger in Texas (or fake). LOL, sorry, couldn't resist.

You should come on down Todd - you could dive the Flower Gardens with Jim, Karl, and me.

Cheers
James

Isn't that water in the Flower Gardens cold?

What is that, 5mm diving? I have a 5/3 full, 3/2 full and of course a drysuit. Never really considered Texas until now. But the views look wonderful.

Hey Everybody

Just a note to say hello and introduce my wife Tammy(Scubagirl) and me, Jim(Airburnr).

useful information..Thanks everybody
Tried to upload some pics,but fdor some reason, it didn't work .:-(
Anyway, have a great day.

Okay, I finally will make a post here. I don't get too many pictures taken of me, probably because I am not very photogenic. I found these from Roatan and Utila last year.

On the cart, I am getting buzzed by bees, so it was quick on, shoot, and get off the cart quickly since the bees seemed to make the cart their home.

On the way home from a dive, I am sipping on water pondering life, "why am I going home?"

Here I am drinking margaritas on the bus to La Paz from Cabo last year.
I think margaritas should be provided on all forms of public transportation

Well, here are my photos taken on May 22nd, the first day I used my new strobe:

Before the dive:



During the dive:



Fotos: Víctor Amor, my buddy and boyfriend - thou this second one is not one of his best UW pics, he is a good photographer, much better than me, of course!

Regards!

Both of these were taken by my girlfriend on an MX-10 (yeah, i know its not digital and its not a SLR, but.....) in Bonaire, March 2004.

Aquatic: Doing the "Chicken Dance" on a safety stop off Klein Bonaire! Sometimes I leave the camera topside so I can practice being a buddy.



Terrestrial: If anyone is having problems finding the Andrea I site in Bonaire, now you know why. I do have to say the marker was a pain to pack and and even more difficult to explain to the customs folks back in Atlanta.

An underwater shot of me from Guam and my favorite grouper!

[james]

Oh Chris, you're going to get hammered for this one. Unless that grouper just landed in your hand. I admit it is possible as I've had a nassau grouper do it to me before.

No photoshopping here James! I have known this little fish for more than 5 years. the local guides feed it daily ( something I do not do ). it will come out as soon as you approach and all you have to do is reach out and gently pick it up.

Come to Guam and get this shot yourself!

Proof in the pudding! note the shadows from my fingers on the fish,

My hand is open! the fish digs it!

And how about my exposure suit! got to love the gin clear "bath water" of Guam!

[dhaas]

Hey!,

Shots of Bruce Yates were taken by yours truly with crappy little Canon Rebel XT He was lots of fun on this year's Shark Expedition and after that trip I'll bet he created a "checklist" for extension rings for his Seacam housing

Luckily I had a "spare" 77mm B&W diopter for him to try, although I think he stopped using it after seeing no big difference with his Canon 17-40L lens. Hmmm.....Maybe this combo didn't NEED the extension ring anyway!

Sorry to be off topic, just recalling lots fun getting close to sharks.

[james]

Haha, whoops! Left the PVL35 at home did you Bruce?

Chris, I believe that you were holding the fish - no doubt. I was just giving you a hard time for "touching" the marine life...lol.
