Spouses underwater

[spt29970]

Lately I have been trying to shoot more WA, but what do you do when you end up on a site that doesn't have W/A subjects? I unleash my rig on my poor suffering spouse. I think she is getting tired of posing, but she makes a great dive model; then again I am biased. I thought I would start a thread devoted to images of spouses underwater. Here are a few of my favorites. As usual click on the image for more detail



(No she is not touching...)

Colour on the third pic reminds me of Barbados...where were you? I would say the same for the lovely healthy coral in the second pic but not enough soft corals for our reefs.

Pic #1 was taken in Cozumel last week
Pic #2 was taken in the Philippines (Apo Island) last fall
Pic #3 was taken in the Blue Grotto in Florida a few years ago. It is a fresh water cavern with spectacularly clear water.

Harder yes, but not impossible. This is taken in the Kelp forests off of Santa Cruz Island, CA.

My favorite part of this thread is seeing how long it takes your spouse to figure out you posted a pic of them!

These are from Truk a few years ago of my last girlfriend before met my wife. We had just come from Yap where I had taken a photo course from Mike Veitch, who is on SB. When we got to Yap I still had the camera housing in the box it was shipped in and didn't even know how to put it together so Mike had to start pretty much from scratch when I started his class. These are among the first photos I ever took under water.

The first one is doing deco after diving the San Francisco and I'm not sure of the name of the 2nd wreck.

but what do you do when you end up on a site that doesn't have W/A subjects?

I don't shoot much W/A myself but always use who I'm with as a subject:

And even when it's not a W/A lens:
