Love the pics of the sea turtle. Your camera takes really nice photo underwater. Did you take an underwater photography class?

I've considered a liveaboard...but I'm not sold yet. They are much more expensive than cruises...but with all the diving included, it makes sense that they are more.
It's three main reasons (besides cost) that keeps me from booking a liveaboard instead of a cruise
1. I travel with my mom, who doesn't dive and loves to cruise.
2. I am VERY picky eater and I'm worried I won't like the food on the liveaboard.
3. Robin mentioned about no ballrooms, or formal wear, shows, etc...except that I like the ballrooms, formal wear, shows, etc.
If my master plan to move to FL comes together, and I either start dating a diver or get a core group of diving friends...I may try a liveaboard. I just don't see it happening anytime soon while I'm in Northern VA.

Thanks! I haven't taken an u/w photography class. I just read a lot on scubaboard about getting really close and trying to shoot up if you can (which I couldn't most of the time). I also spoke to someone at my dive shop for about an hour and half about ISO settings, white balance, macro etc. Then he had me practice in the pool during one of their open water classs. I tried all the different settings and got use to changing the settings while underwater. I think it's a very good idea for new photographers to practice in a pool first.
