solo dive at Blue Heron Bridge. Saw a nudi, dwarf froggie, seahorse, spotted eagle ray
 
The day you posted this - last Saturday, I finished the last two dives for my PADI Deep Diving Certification. Table Rock Lake, Missouri near the dam. Once we dropped below about 50 feet, it was pitch black. Had fun though, learned a lot.
 
Went to my favorite spot on Okinawa, no fish, found some hiding in a cave, noticed the surge was getting a bit strong, surfaced in the middle of a storm.

Good times.

"Sun Boat" wreck, Eilat

Released a small Guitar Shark that was caught on phantom hook and could not move, nine Frogfishes of various colors, a couple of Stone fish, schools of Barracudas, Jack Fish, Snappers and Bannerfish. Plenty of fish.

Visibility was uncommonly good, so we ended with a "Wow, thst was a good one!"...

On shore, an inspector fined us for "using DPV in a declared swimming area. "... Never knew a DPV classifies as a motor boat, but I guess there's a first time for everything 🙄
 
Mary’s Place, Roatan. C’est magnifique! A most splendid dive.
 
Blue Heron Bridge. Nice dive.
 
At the rocky islands off Islandikane. It was here that the Earl of Sandwich met her end. The Earl of Sandwich sailed from London in June 1765 with bale goods and hardware to Santa Cruz and then to the Canary Islands. At Oratoira she loaded wine, Spanish milled gold dollars, gold dust and jewels. On board with captain Cocherman was the privateer Captain Glass, his wife and daughter. The Earl of Sandwich was reported in Bantry Bay on the 10-11-1765. On the 30th of November off Waterford 3 of the crew ( St. Quinten, McKinley, and Zacherman) rose and murdered everyone except the cabin boy who they left to drown aboard the sinking vessel. They loaded 250 bags of gold and some jewels aboard the ships boat and rowed for the river where they landed at Fisherstown. There they buried most of the gold and headed up river to New Ross where they bought horses and some pistols, all paid for with spanish gold dollars. In the meantime the Earl of Sandwich didn't sink she drifted towards Tramore and a Norwegian ship reported a large 3 masted brig down to her rails. The Duncannon garrison were called out when talk of 3 strangers were spending lavishly at the taverns. The ship came ashore at the islands off Islandikane where a fisherman took the boy off a mast and recovered a bag of gold coin. She broke up and large amounts of flasks of wine and madeira were washed ashore at Kilfarrasy and Garrus strand. The pirates were caught in Dublin, questioned, hanged and their body hung at the Muglins.
