Another trip to Mexico for some cave diving. I seemed to be plagued with lighting problems but got a few that turned out okay.

I can't begin to imagine how deep or how one feels diving into the deep dark vastness.

Wow! That looks like it was way too much fun. Mike has a bunch of diving gear here that is collecting dust. Where is the best place you've dived so far?

Great shots. Why am I not seeing many bubbles in these shots? Are they holding their breath? :-)

Thanks.


About the bubbles....it's all about the timing, it takes awhile to get "models" dialed in to be aware of their breathing, where their strobes are pointing, etc.....since you can't talk to them all the details have to be worked out prior to the dive which, in mexico, generally lasts 1.5 to 3 hours.
