A bit late, but thank you @Hermitcrab.

Coco View in Honduras allows solo diving. I have done so while photographing pregnant jawfish. My buddy left and then returned in 30 minutes. I was on the bottom at 40 feet, in Coco Views "front yard" so nothing to daring.

As stated, the vaccine lowers the chance of you getting COVID, however, you can still be a carrier of it. The virus lives in your nostrils and a vaccine does not kill a virus entering your nose and living there so you are then exposing others. Personally, I'm drying up here in the midwest (you know my scales...lol) and so want to go diving but no trips planned yet. Dreaming of a trip to the Philippines March 2022, we will see.

Is there anyone out there that is an underwater portrait photographer? I would love to connect and see your work. Lori

I am stuck smack dab in the middle of the midwest, St. Louis, Missouri to be exact. No ocean in my backyard, but I do own an indoor pool where I photograph people underwater. Now, I would much rather be diving in Wakatobi or anywhere in the Philippines but that is not possible due to the pandemic so to get my scales wet I jump into my pool and photograph people, mostly maternity. Questions for you all....What are you all doing to feed your underwater passion? Has anyone tried photographing miniature tub people (miniature plastic people in your bathtub, photographed underwater)? If you are diving how are the reefs? Do they look healthier without all of the traffic? Thanks- Lori

Hey Lori Probst from Saint Louis Missouri. I am expanding my underwater gear and am looking for several items, gently used would be fantastic. M. Zuiko 7-14mm F2.8 lens with Nauticam port and anything else I would need for that. Also a strobe. Sea & Sea YS-D1. If 5 & 8 inch double ball mounted arms available and fiberoptic cable that's even better. I'm checking the classifieds now .
