Pretty fishes

[deepblueme]

Does anyone on this site just go diving to look at the colorful corals and pretty fishes?

It seems mostly everyone here is a DIR, 7ft hose, overhead, if you don't dive this way your going to DIE diver....







Thank god for the DORK's
Im all for proper training, experience and common sense but....

Nope, I just go to look at all the cool things.

I find adventure of some sort or another on most dives - whether it's fish or coral or improving my skills or whatever.

Sure I look at the pretty fishes. And when possible I shoot some for dinner. I'm real fond of grabbing lobsters, too

Yes!! When I can get in water with pretty stuff I try to take pictures and later identify what I have seen . . . I am a new diver and very much like a kid in a candy store, thoroughly entertained by anything I have not seen before

I like pretty fish In the midatlantic, the fish live on the wrecks, so pretty soon you find that you are a wreck diver Then the next thing you know, a 7' hose appears on your reg... before long you have bought a rebeather... guess what? you can get closer to the pretty fish if you aren't making all those noisy bubbles... It's a vicious cycle, that pretty fish diving

I'm not a new diver and still like a kid in a candy store - and I'm entertained even by stuff I've seen a zillion times before! Diving for me is a joy..every time, no matter where, what, how or why!

I'm a DIR, 7 foot hose, overhead diver, and probably three quarters of my diving is to go find critters. Today I found six species of nudibranch, a penpoint gunnel, a Red Irish Lord, several kelp greenlings, a couple of ling cod, several moon snails, baby sea pens, and a plethora of various crabs and starfish, including my favorite Stimson's sea stars, and I never got deeper than 30 feet.

Just because we're DIR 70 foot hose overhead divers doesn't mean we can't have fun!

Me too. I just like to fly around in the water looking at all the cool stuff down there, be it a wreck, junk, sponges and corals, pretty blue-yellow-black- brown or whatever color of fish (don't even care about their names). Eels are neat and so are the nurse sharks and stuff. A goliath grouper, some barracudas or big turtle makes my day. Nothing else in the world like it.

I like the pretty fish and coral. And when I get a chance, I count them, log them, take their pictures, try to get them to sit still for videos (not as easy as it sounds) and then I study them so I'll be able to tell my students and other teachers about them.
Have fun!
