Gary at Ginnie Springs in the Wonder Tunnel

Photo's taken of Gary in the Wonder tunnel at Ginnie on 8-05-05. Acutal question is wonder where my dive buddy took me since he missed the turn and took me into a very silty crack. Photo's in standerd places with oly 5050 and internal strobe with no editing. Thanks Gary for putting up with me!

Thanks

I'm still trying to get used to the extra task loading a camera brings to the dive and doing things like swimming backwards through a tunnel adds even more task loading. (Maybe drifting backwards would be more correct) I've got to admit, though, that I understand a lot of divers' reluctance to dive with a partner that has a camera. If you're trying to change the settings on the camera and you're not fast you lose awareness pretty fast. I also know I need strobes, but getting them back in the area to shoot is not going to make it any easier.

Sorry it was not of the Gary y'all were expecting, but folks, I'm not side mount and taking it back where a sidemount diver would go would be a quantum leap of skills for me at this point.

Having said that, though, if you ever want photos in the easy part of the cave on a day where the water's not full of trash, I'd be happy to take some shots. I bring the camera to the dive site a good bit, but most of the time I do not take it with me on the dive, depending on where we are going and how many teams are in the water.
