yeah man, mug a diver, go for a dive, come up a little too fast, burst your lungs, throat, sinuses, ear canals and have the nitrogen in your blood boil off.

go take a proper scuba diving lesson, do a few dives, then take a camera. my camera is just a normal one (olympus c770) but has a special dive housing i put it in. so it can go 60m deep. its perfect. i can use the camera anywhere.

its great on boats or crossin rivers .. you just dont have to worry.
its pretty neutrally boyant so it stays afloat should you drop it..

Those beautiful creatures are fairly big then… I thought they were only little!!! It’s a totally gorgeous photo, even if it has a human in the bg and is a tad hazy. Soooooo beautiful… I wonder how I missed this before? Must have blinked!!!!

what amazing creatures these are. I hadn’t heard of them till I went a few years ago to Seahorse World, near Launceston, Tasmania,...and there they were…so graceful.

There’s the sea dragon. It is beautiful. It looked like a plant but when I looked at it closer, it is a creature. Excellent!

yes, the first time i went diving to see some i was literally 1 meter away from it and i couldnt see it at all. i had my dive buddy pointing and all i could see was a bush… it took about 5mins to realise there was a leafy sea dragon hiding there. they dont move very fast.
