Caymans for a beginner

I got the opportunity to spend a wonderful week in the Caymans (and thankful for a wife that understands why I bought a Sea and Sea housing for my D200)

I wanted to share a few photos of my trip. This is my first time taking underwater shots via a Discover Scuba and some local snorkeling.

Thanks for sharing Donald, welcome to wetpixel! Isn't taking a camera underwater a blast? Hope your wife enjoyed your pictures, If not I've learned jewelry will take the edge off. (They have some nice shopping in Georgetown)

I really like the angle on the moray. Ready to get certified?

Have fun,

Steve

Jewelry will get you lot's of things, and after you've been married a while you need it to get past first base.

Good start Donald

Thanks guys.

This experience has made me want to consider certification. But I think I need to start from square one - swimming lessons. My wife was there to guide me when I would spazz out due to the deep water. I was way out of my comfort level, and mainly worked on keeping myself safe as well as enjoying the surroundings. The instructor at DiveTech was great also. After the pool test, I felt a lot more confident in my intentions.

Yep jewelry definitely in order. Swimming lessons sound like a good plan. Maybe you should give your wife the camera for a while, they are better at underwater photography than men anyway.

Good luck!

Maybe, but she would not get as close to the eel as I was.

your are a natural. Wife happy = you happy

And when your ready to buy a new camera you can convince your wife that your buying it becouse you know how much she will love taking pics with your old setup!

I can only get that trick to work with laptops and iPods.
