Mad Scientist going underwater

[dees]

Hi All,

I'm new here (obviously) and also pretty new to diving. Been diving in the tropical waters mainly around Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia.

Love science and diving. Any ideas for me to merge my two loves, please suggest some nobel-winning ideas and i'd split my nobel prize with you in time to come.

And i'm just wondering if i shd try out UW videography as I've just got a videocam (well, it kinda just dropped into my hands) so there! Do share good advise ok?
I've also ventured into UW photography a while back.

dive more, research more... nobel?

El Orans,

Agree with u on buoyancy. no worries, ain't that newbie a diver that i can't control the buoyancy for photography. Just haven't logged THAT many dives to consider a OLD diver. Go with the see-no-touch policy.

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest! If you'll simply click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. My favorite is at the bottom: Singles Dive Club.

It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location - and seperately - your Dive Info. You can use the Quick Links above to reach those easily. Sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help?

PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message."

Hi dees,

I've been in interested in science and started diving a few years ago. I've had good fun studying marine biology and trying my hand at underwater photography. While I'm definitely an amateur, it sure gives me an appreciation of the fantastic work others have done.

Nobel prize? Since our underwater resources are being consumed, or put at risk, from numerous causes, I think anything that would help preserve these resources would be worthwhile.

Cheers,
Carbon

Dees,

Welcome to the Forum. I am sure you will find it a great place to further your dive addition. Take a look as the Photography sub-forum for on-going U/W video discussions. I haven't seen anyone advertise Nobel prise winning ideas yet, but who knows, hard to know until the judges make their decisions.

I recommend that you fill in your Profile information so we will know more about you.

Welcome to scubaboard!

I am not a UW photographer or videographer, so I can't offer you much advice in that regard. But I would check out the relevant forums here and then check out the photo galleries. I can spend hours looking through there. Talk about some inspiration!

Again, welcome to scubaboard!

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
The white mice are really in charge!
That sounds like a future forum,
"Noble Ideas for the Nobel." Especially
considering the many desparate needs
of our marine world's ecology.
I'm eager to read your contributions.

I need inspiration to revise my stock message. Maybe if I read over may last couple hundred welcoming messages. Hmm. Maybe.
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!

Tom

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or respond to in this forum.
