Here are the newest photos that we shot in December, January, February and March, while diving in some of the world's greatest dive locations. This was my first attempt at underwater photography, and I was pleasantly surprised at some of the results! (These are marked as 'Special' If your time is limited, be sure to see these first!) {These photos were all taken with a Sea&Sea MotorMarine II EX camera, using 1:3 macro lens, 20mm wide angle lens, a Sea&Sea Strobe 50, and Kodak Super Gold 400 print film.} But see for yourself just WHY we spend so much time underwater, and meet some of the citizens of the other 70% of our world.

• ITS A WHOLE NEW UNDERWATER WORLD OF WONDER!! (Special)

• Professional Sports Divers' (the most luxurious, as well as technically superior shop on Guam,) own divemaster, Chuck gets ready to hit the briney, while Michael waits in the water. This was to be our tune-up diving before we left for Palau, but Guam can hold its own with all the world's best diving sites!

After a few short weeks back in Japan to finish up the school year, I left for a 7 week dive trip to Thailand. After a week of shopping in Bangkok, I headed south into the gulf of Thailand to the tiny (you can walk from one side to the other in 2 hours) island of Koh Tao. This was my 5th dive trip here, and you can see why..............

• The Gulf of Thailand is well known for its soft corals, and here is a prime example.... (Special)
•  
• Koh Tao diving also provides lots of multi-colored "Christmas Tree Worms,".... (Special)
•  
• ....Thailand's own style of Anemone fish....... (Special)
•  
• .... and of course sunsets... right out of the travel brochures!! (Special)

Why not give Scuba diving a try? It's easy to learn, easy to do, and lots of fun. You can get your certification training in 3-5 days in a relaxed fun-filled atmosphere, and then you too can visit the other 70% of our world!
