| We went to Turks and Caicos on the Sea
Dancer. The top of the wall is at 55 or 60 feet, so we spent a lot of time under the
boat, decompressing. Looking up into the sun, I got the idea for a picture, but the
boat all by itself was pretty boring, and the divers on the hang bar didn't look
particularly graceful. I asked the divemaster if we could go out between dives, and
I'd lay on the bottom (about 50 feet down), let all the air out of my BC, take a deep
breath, and hold it while she dived down to me -- she'd start her dive when my bubbles
stopped. I asked her if she could get to within ten feet of me, and she thought she
could. She didn't make it that far, and now I'm glad she didn't: I like it this way. Nikonos III, Nikon 15mm f/2.8 lens, f/8, 1/60, Kodak Royal Gold
