The camera is back in the water!!!

FINALLY!!! It's not that I haven't been diving, I just haven't had my camera. I've been diving my Optima all summer, and I figured it would be smart to get used to that before task loading with a camera too.

Today we dove the Advance off of Nags Head, NC. The water on top was cool and blue, the bottom water was green and cloudy. We only had about 20 feet of viz, with a lot of particulate in the water (so it was a great day in NC). I had an itchy trigger finger and I didn't give the lens a chance to focus on most of the pics. I'd love to blame it on something like new gloves, but it was really an ID10T error.

After 5 years of diving in NC, I finally saw a shark! I have always heard other divers on the boat say they saw one, but I always seemed to miss them. This time I was in luck. Unfortunately, between swimming after it, and it being the first dive of the summer with the camera, none of them came out very good. Let's hope it's not the last time I see it.

~Enjoy
