drako Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 So I have been keeping busy this week. For her birthday I paid for my gf's classes to get certified with SCUBA. Two of my other good friends tagged along and also got certified. I bought an underwater case for this whole ordeal and it worked well....until it decided to flood well above its "guaranteed range" So anyways here are some of the pics. Most of them were taken at Neptune Memorial, some others at a small patch reef. Heres the GF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT13 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 nice pics Jose! there's alot of cool stuff I'd like to see down there. then again, there's alot I wouldn't. I hate swimming in the water because I can't see any of it and don't like stuff rubbing against me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Silv Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Badass. I would love to dive near some reefs. That is a huge brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipefitters SS Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) The last time I was doing any rec diving was in France. I do it for a living now and have for the last 12 years. So the only thing I get to see is oil platforms. Yes I realise I live here in Missouri thats the one great thing about the industry I can live here and travel back and forth. Nice lobsters.

drako Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks all! Like I mentioned I wish I could take more pics but my camera is long gone. They were getting certified so we went down to 40 for the first pics. The next day 60, this weekend I am off to the Bahamas to get Advanced Open Water certified. We are going down to 100 maybe 120. Doing some wrecks etc. Im pretty excited, wish I could get some pics of the Shark dive. Glad you guys enjoyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcid Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Hey, you could always dive oil platforms recreationally. I did Tenneco Towers in Ft. Lauderdale a few weeks back and man was that current ripping.....You could only get around by hand. Fins were useless and that was the first dive with my new camera kit. I didn't take a single photo on that dive but got some on a drift dive afterwards. Good luck on the AOW Drako. The last time I was doing any rec diving was in France.
