Need a good laugh?

Just returned from the Middle East yesterday and still jet lagging after 36 hours of travel.

This one ought to make you smile - OK, it's not an UW pic, but the dive gods weren't kind to me on this trip. The diving was horrible - I was fortunate to have lugged all my dive and photography gear halfway around the planet only to have arrived after 4 days of unprecendented rain to the region. In Dubai all diving was cancelled due to choppy seas, and diving in Muscat was like diving in pea soup. We dove one day and decided that we could not justify paying for any more. I got a dismal few UW pics there, that will have to have some extreme de-planktonification in order to post to my website...

Anyway, here is my favorite shot from the entire trip. Enjoy!
