First: nice pictures. I have never seen a mantis shrimp in person. Part of me would be nervous to be that close. Second: Time for me to be an asshole : your dive buddy's dangles are killing me, man. Get her to clip off that SPG! |

But it was hanging loose for a reason, so her instructor and I could peek at it. Turns out, being as tiny as she is she can use one of the smaller scuba tanks, what is it a AL63? and run neck and neck with me on an AL80, consumption wise. I'm pretty good on air. I'm not sure she even breathes |

Great pix everyone!
Zach3g--Where was that? I was trying to identify the language on the padi sign in the first pic. |

I don't see as many as I would like. They're without a doubt my favorite critter to see while diving. We saw three that day (2 that were probably in the middle of mating before we oc-blocked them). That was the first time I had seen any in a few months though. |

View Quote I've always enjoyed swimming in the springs in a bathing suit, and even when I first started diving a couple years ago I would only wear swim trunks and a tank top when I dove in the Rainbow River. By the time I got done setting my gear up at Ginnie that day, the heat and the bugs (flies were fucking horrible near the pavilions) were so bad I just loaded up and dove in to get away from them both. It felt great for the first 15-20 minutes, but then I swam into the run and stood up talking to my family for a few minutes, which dried me off for the most part... going back under after that kinda sucked. |

Diving with kids is the best.
Here's my son on his 11th birthday on French Reef. I was amazed at how quickly he took to diving. Attached File Here's my daughter at Morrison Springs in the FL panhandle. 9 years old in this picture. We just swam around the shallow end of the springs looking at all the bluegills and bass. Despite being a bit chilly, she took to the water like a fish. Attached File |
