After the Hydro we dropped on the Ancient Mariner with Andrea joining us. I've been wanting a Glassysweeper photo in the stairs shot for a while.

2005-8-6 Hydro Atlantic with Stacey and Ken
I knew to look for the Goliath that hangs out under the bridge of the Hydro. He was there and I had to point out the fish to Stacey and Ken who both gave me a "Blauufff" through the reg to acknoledge they actually saw the fish. Perhaps they were just trying to boom back at him?
Bentek Ar Pen
The Miami Project did some scooter dives in late August after Datrina. We hit the Bentek Ar pen, St. Henry, Tortuga, and Atlas Recycling Barge.
The Thursday night before we did a Barracuda night feeding dive. The surface was boiling over the Princess Britney as we geared up. On the way down Cuda, Jacks, and Tarpon were feeding on baitfish balls around the wreck.
Silve flashes off my HID in all directions. It was the highest anxiety dive I've done since my first tech dive after class!
We scootered to the Parasio and had to stop several times for freight trains of fish crossing in front of us. The thermocline of 82 and 70 degree water really mess up the vis.
We swam through the Parasio and I've never felt so safe inside a wreck!
After 32 minutes I was just as ready of Jody to thumb the dive.
On our safety stop 20 squid swarmed our lights and would "ink" us as we moved to check our guages. It was a crazy dive.

Avid Diver TGIF Dive
My first dive on the Hydro was Friday on the TGIF with Charlie. I've been trying to get this shot of the dive boat "pick up" for three years. It's very hard as the camera has "spots" on the lens that have to be cleaned with Albanian mask defogger, composition, sky, and subject have to be looking the right way, and then you have one shot before the boat moves out of position. I hope Oliver puts it up on his website!
Oh, the dive was awesome as well! After 7 dives, 3 with camera, I finally got some good water conditions on the Hydro for photography!

Bathtub
Click on the photo to get a tour of a high and low end home in Missippi after Katrina. No one is sitting around begging, but they look like they could use a little help!
It was a code blue
There are 394 pages of photos with the tag "burningman". Some day, I must go to this before it becomes corporate. This pic made my day.
