I figured this would go in graphics because, well, its graphics...

here are pics of my last dive trip, we went to Belize aboard Peter Hughes (Live aboard, for non-divers its where you live on the boat, and do dives of of it and cruise around reefs in luxury and comfort )

The pics are from Facebook, low resolution, these are my 38 favorite pics, if you would like me to host a picture through imageshack or something else for high res or send it to you id be glad to 10MP Camera, point and shoot Cannon *i think* DSC-N2

The boat... The Sundancer II

(I wasnt trying to say, "HEY LOOK AT ME IM BREAKING DECO LIMITS!!! That was the end of the majority of the dive on the Blue Hole and I wanted stats for it in a camera shot)

Cool colored snail thing, that thing crawls on the ground and got some really weird colors in the picture...

This little thing grows out of rocks, I guess particle feed, and when you brush by it snaps back into the rock in an instant, cool to watch...

Awesome shots - I'd go over the underwater shots in photoshop - there's a way you can make the plants more vibrant (by putting sort of an anti-blue, or using levels) - it's what they usually do for underwater shots

The dives to the stalactites go to about 140-150... not much besides that

480ft to the very bottom (googled)

146.30400 meters - all you have to do is enter "480ft in m" in google. Or divide it by three, gets about there...

Er... they have turbines in those things, don't they? I mean, isn't the whole point of that water flowing down the fact that they power turbines, which in turn generate power?

I think they are there to keep the dam from overflowing. That would make the inner tube ride a lot funner if there were turbines though.

Getting chopped up into bits by a giant turbine and spit out the other side is funnier?
