    Thumbs up

    Hi All,

    Just got back from 5 days of diving in Pompano Beach FL. Went through a dive shop called American Dive Center, Pat Innis is the manager.

    Great shop. Hooked me up with excellent rental gear and a very good boat called Under Pressure, Captain'd by Randy.

    Check him out at http://www.pompanoscuba.com

    phxcamera,

    Welcome back, it's good to know you made it back safe and sound. While you were there did you happen to snap any photos?

    pictures anyone?

    King,

    I got my C-card about 2 months ago and this was my first ocean/boat/drift diving. Actually, my first dives in anything more than about 6" of vis. I did manage to borrow a Reefmaster for a day, but as my dive instructor taught me, don't hold your breathe.....If I got anything decent, I'll let you know.... :-)

    When you first start with underwater photography, snap off as many frames as you can. I've got some really great pictures from, places that don't seam too likely to produce them. The easiest have got to be macro shots, it's pretty hard not to find all types of neat little things to take pictures of. Most camera's have a guide for distance and framing... and visibility isn't such a huge factor.

    When it's time to purchase, and you're not looking at getting published, look into Digital camera's they now come with 4.3 megapixels and a whole lotta memory. In the long run it's much cheaper than using film, and has a lot of other features like movie or mpeg capabilities and simple editing on your computer.

    HA! I've also heard that you can get memory chips for cameras up to 128 MB!

    That's ridiculous, what would anyone need all of that memory for?

    Digital photography is a passing fad.

    It's all about fun folks!
