what's your favorite U/W photo of yourself?

[spatman]

i saw this idea on another forum and thought it would be fun to start a similar thread here.

this is my favorite pic. the photo itself isn't technically great, but it is definitely a memento of me in my happy place. it was taken in the sea of cortez as we drifted slowly along with a massive school of jacks. at one point i drifted right into the center of an enormous group. all i saw in a 360 degree view were hundreds and hundreds of large wide-eyed silver fish. i floated along with them for 3-4 minutes before the school parted and we continued on our way. one of my most memorable experiences so far.

what's yours?

Dude, tuck your long-hose next time you're showing off.

yeah, i should have photoshopped that out... i actually had it tucked into the weight belt, but it kept coming out. next time i dive w/o a can light, i'm swapping it out for a 5-footer - like i thought to do in the first place, but nooooo, like a dork, i had to listen to sounder, who told me to just tuck it into my weight belt...

I tucked it for a week in Bonaire without any issues... might be operator error there stronzo.

I will find a pic and post it.

(sigh) I'm not hijacking it, but it's good to know the scuba police are watching me. Just a ribbing between friends, and besides - there was no NHZ called anyway.


I think my avatar is one of my favorites - it was the first really good picture of me and I really like it.

I love this one, because it's a good picture of me, it was one of the first good pictures of me in a cave, and my class and practice buddy of several years is also in it:

Wow! That is an amazing photo, LCF.
