End of the World diving in Fiji!

[dlh]

I wanted to get a jump on this whole end of the world business, so I popped over to Fiji to get my final dives in early! I'll be spending Christmas time diving and getting in a little winter time sun. It was a near thing as Fiji was hit with a nasty Cyclone the day before my departure. There was the whole problem of messed up flight schedules, but with a little scramble we made it on time. (BTW, I think Air Pacific is running their flight scheduling system on a rickety Commodore 64 circa 1984. ) The sky's are clear and sunny and the water is great! No damage at all in Taveuni.

It's 10:30 PM on 12/21 right now, so I guess there are a few minutes left for apocalypse but at least I got a couple of more dives under my belt!

Here are a few "End of the World" Fiji dive shots to share:

Sigh....

I'm very jealous. Nothing but cold weather here. Keep posting photos of those warm waters, I'd love to see them!

I almost didn't recognize Rebecca without her KISS!

I'm torn between hating you and admiring you. I think I will settle for just being jealous. Have a good apocalypse!

Today's dives were even better than yesterdays (which was our first dive day). I am not sure I should torture the drizzled masses in WA with more sunny blue water photos however...

It's also been adjustment of sort diving open circuit. I've been diving a rebreather since 2007 and I think I only went open circuit once since then. I did manage to stop trying to hit my dry suit inflator after first dive.

Drizzled masses.... Torture.... Sigh....

Please post away, the more the merrier. Might as well, can't get much worse.

Yeah, I might have bruised my sternum in Bonaire trying to add gas to my non-existent suit. It can really get hairy, however, when you attempt to dump air by lifting your left arm.

A few more photos from today's dives in Fiji. Tomorrow I may attempt some D800 video, if I can get the settings right. So far I have been shooting the D800 with a Sigma 15mm Fisheye in a custom 4" mini-dome with two DS-125 strobes.

Beautiful!
