M & R Photography Camera in Hand

Description

I have always wanted to go underwater and explore the “different world” out there. There was never a time or place. Then last year when Renata and I took a trip to South Caribbean islands for a weeding we were shooting we extended our stay to make it a little vacation. We did little snorkeling with stingrays and turtles, some sightseeing and even watched planes land in the wildest place in the world to watch airliners – St. Maarten Airport runway that is few feet from the beach and the ocean. On that trip I came by an offer to discover scuba diving. Since I wanted to try scuba for the longest I did not think twice and went for it. We did a lot of great things on that week long trip but scuba was the highlight of it. I then did it again on Barbados and while the sea conditions were less than perfect since they had storm coming it was still very cool. I was hooked, Came back to NY and started my research about certification and scuba spots. And then the normal, busy life came back and I did not have time to think about scuba….. it was pretty cold and long winter so that did not help either. The spring came in and one of my friends told me one day that he found very friendly local dive shop and he was scheduled to take his certification classes in few weeks. Few phone calls later and I was scheduled for my class that was to begin in two days. LOL There is something in my life that makes things come up at the last minute… little hectic and stressful but otherwise cool. Love it. And so my journey with scuba begun. After I was done with my certification and open water dives I took quite few dives without the camera. First to get used to the equipment and the environment and then just to perfect the skills before taking one more task (photography) which is not easy as it looks. Even that I have been a photographer for the last dozen of years underwater photography is very different. But since I love new challenges its a lot of fun learning new skills. Last week was the first time that I took my camera for two of the dives that we did. The bottom of the lake looks very interesting and sandy but actually is sill that is very soft and easily stirred. Its very quiet but you can still have fun. Well the conversation is a little different… or should I say even non existent.
