Funny thing, I have been quite actively diving since 1997. I went through a more serious photography phase, a video phase, a lobstering phase, a Lionfish elimination phase, and a spearfishing phase. Ultimately, I decided all of these things sucked up most of my attention and detracted from my peaceful enjoyment of the underwater world. For the last 6 or 7 years, most of my diving is solo drift in SE Florida, doing nothing more than looking around. I have never enjoyed my diving more....I have long observed that veteran divers drift to such activities in order to maintain their interest. I tried photography and soon realized that I was really bad at it. I tried videography and got great results...
On special land based or liveaboard trips, I will often take my nice point and shoot in a good housing to capture ambient light photos to share with my family and friends and to include in my ScubaBoard and Undercurrent reviews. However, I'm never just looking for my next shot, they are all around as you enjoy the pleasure of diving.
