Heading along a fixed transit line to the wreck of the HMAS Brisbane, the wreck only visible in the last 10m, so around 30m of open ocean to traverse from the mooring line. Ilford XP2 Super 400
This image (the blue and the "rays") is a left over from the Twirl effects some of us did last year. This is before you twirl the rays. It occurred to me that it looked like the underwater scenes we see on TV when scuba divers look up into the sun.
I added some sea life as follows:
Real jellyfish from Iceland
A dried seahorse, layers multiplied. Don't ask me why I have a dried seahorse, I have had it forever and I don't know where it came from.
Fish that started out as an orange glass fish in the eclectic garden, also 3 copied three times.
The whale fluke is a pendant which I didn't use for the "nothing in focus" theme for Smile on Saturday. I thought it looked quite good underwater :)
On July 19th, I traveled in a group of 15 scuba divers to Bonaire, an island in the Netherland Antilles, 30 miles north of Venezuela. The island is a scuba destination because it has clear water, virtually no currents, and relatively healthy coral reefs and walls.
We had 15 dives scheduled for the days and one night dive. I had my camera on all but one dive, so this frame is the first of a series, all but this one under water.
The boat in the foreground was our dive boat, with 2 dive masters helping with gear, entry and exit, and pointing out interesting targets like octopi, sea horses, turtles and eagle rays.
The sailboat further out sails each night around sunset, just for the pleasure of light refreshments while watching the sun set.
I was fortunate to snap this shoal of Humpback Snapper off the world famous atoll of Rangiroa in French Polynesia which is a mecca for divers, with a diversity of marine life that is truly spectacular. Manta rays, sea turtles, barracudas, dolphins, sharks, napoleonfish can also be seen.
Die Grüne Meeresschildkröte (Chelonia mydas) ist ein Vertreter der Meeresschildkröten.
Sie ist hier kurz vor dem Auftauchen. Für gewöhnlich bleiben die Tiere fünf Minuten unter Wasser und kommt dann wieder an die Wasseroberfläche, um für ein paar Sekunden zu atmen. Sie können jedoch mehrere Stunden am Stück unter Wasser bleiben, ohne Luft zu holen – z. B. wenn sie schlafen.
The green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) is a representative of the sea turtles.
She's here about to emerge. The animals usually stay underwater for five minutes and then come back to the surface to breathe for a few seconds. However, they can stay underwater for several hours at a time without coming up for air - e.g. B. when they sleep.
Diving into the dephts of The Bay is as fun...as dangerous!

It was interesting to watch these learner Scuba divers in the shallows of the clear blue waters off the Portsea Pier. The beach behind is the opposite side of the pier, closer to the eastern part of the curve that leads to the Heads. Portsea has a large number of wealthy inhabitants and a lovely Portsea Hotel that overlooks the pier and the yachts moored nearby.
It is possible that one day I will swim past one of these without taking a photo, but it seems unlikely.
This monster is almost a meter in diameter. The spots on the mantle are light sensitive so it can shut a bit for predators, but they can never completely close. The mantle colours are the real treat: purples and greens and yellows and reds. Sometimes blue.
Entry to Andrew's Contest... With some editing :P
Also sorry for the bad photo.. My good(er) camera broke :"(
Entry for my Iron Builder with Kos brick. The secret ingredient for this round is 2 x 2 Domes in Dark Blue.
Late afternoon scuba dive at Harbord, near Freshwater which is on Sydney's North Shore.
Was perfect conditions with great vis - we saw a large southern eagle ray, wobbegong shark and a school of kingfish.
