underwater photos
Bikes are one of my biggest loves, food and beer and food aside, but scuba diving is my other love.
I was lucky enough to get to go away on a family trip this last week (partly for my bday to), we were staying in nama bay in sharm el sheikh on the sinai peninsula Egypt.
spent 4 days diving while we were out there and twas great, water tempt was 23/24 degrees which was just right and the air temps ranged from 27 to nearly 40 degrees!!!!
I have recently got into underwater photography, well I say got into................. this trip was my first attempt at it, but I have had the gear knocking around for a while.
Thought I'd share some of my photos with you all see what you think, there not fantastic but I am still learnding...

Re: underwater photos
I am lacking the photoshopness, need to find me a copy from somewhere for my mac really.
That tool certainly does bring out some of the colours, nice one
that is an odd looking thing, I have no idea what it is mind....

Re: underwater photos
These Sealife Centres are amazing!
Seriously...superb shots. Diving as such doesn't appeal, I always fancied having a go in a mini sub or something though

Re: underwater photos

Re: underwater photos
I love snorkelling and doing so in the Indian Ocean was breath taking. Hoping to have a go at proper diving on our next jolly.
Superb pics Dave
