Here are a few pictures that we took while on vacation. I have more, but time right now is pretty tight. Hope you enjoy.



This was on the back side of the island at Trunk on St. john. I swam with him for almost an hour.


This was while SCUBA diving at Coki. He was just chilling there getting cleaned by little fish.



This was in Secret Harbor. It came out of no where, and then disappeared just as quick. Look how long the tail is.


This was also Secret Harbor.


I hit the wrong button on my camera, but I like the way it turned out.


This is me floating in Secret Harbor enjoying a Bud


This is me floating at Trunk. No beer in this one!


I just kinda liked this one.


I really do not have an explanation for this one. use your imagination.

Connie,
I am glad that you like the picture of the palms. That was taken from my room at Secret Harbor. Yes, you can use it, and that was very nice of you to ask.

I am wicked jealous. (except for the last pic. Do you drink through your nose?) Gorgeous pics. Looking forward to seeing more. What did use for a camera underwater?

Jo-Ann...all of these photos were taken with a SeaLife DC600 underwater camera. I dive so I needed a camera that could go down deep and this one can go down to 200 feet . I am glad you enjoyed the pics. As for the drinking through the nose, I was working on a 64 oz drink at Duffy's Love Shack, and I though this would be a good picture. They gave me 4 straws since the drink normally is for four people so I did what I had to 2 in the mouth and 2 in the nose.

Beer Hunter....thx for the link! Had to laugh at the straws - - it looks like you ALMOST had a straw (or 2) for every orifice 🙂

That is what is called 'immersed' in your vacation.

Also, I'm wondering,... does drinking with straws up your nose cause you to pass out sooner?? Or, does that only happen when you're using two in your mouth at the same time?? Something like, 'rapture of the deep', I imagine.
I'd be afraid of getting the bends.

Really super pictures, hope you have lots more.

Blu...We stayed all week at Secret Harbor, so there is a really good chance that I am the one you saw. I think I had a path worn out from the beach to the bar.

As for the straws, I did not inhale! Here are a few more pics.

Not sure what this is, but it was pretty.

This is Trunk Bay.

This fellow was at Coral World

This is Megan's Bay
