Awaiting the divers.

Here's a guy who's not camera shy.

Divers!!

Yeagh!! Now I know how to do the link.

Congrats Annie, you are the best !
I don't still know how to do that :o(
I have been looking all around the block for a deck chair to be more comfortable on the roof terrace when sunbathing, and didn't find any :o(
Will go on with my veranda chair.
Those divers underwater and the girl's diving preparation at the gate make me so envious. I wish I could join them and refresh as well as my body and my mind...
Need to think about my tonight dinner instead. I had a cheese soufflé with green salad in mind. Of course, we'll have a nice fresh rosé woga to help it go down :o)

Strong work Annie! I just figured it out (duh) the other day when Margarite asked me to do it! Easy, Martine! Just start a thread, copy the address and paste it on a message on the old thread - it's automatic!
A couple of group shots!

divers going in

Hi, Sue, here they are headed north..

I have a question. My friend has all her son's fins at her house, and we were trying them on to see if any would fit. How tight should they fit. I am a size 5 shoe, and I couldn't even get a size 6 - 7 on my foot. It really hurt. Annie B.

Where are the divers? Here are the fish...

Sorry you couldn't find a suitable chair Martine.

annie they should be real tight. you should be able to wiggle your foot a little bit in them.
Sue

I see people in the water

Annie, the fins should be close fitting but comfortable...otherwise you won't want to stay in the water long! :-) SCUBA divers usually use fins with a back strap...less serious folk use full shoe like fins (sorry, don't know the technical names, folks!)

Party group is up and ready to dive!

Watch out traffic jam on the reef!

Hey, Ashley, good job on the posts! Keep going, I'm going to have to get back to work from my break!

Oh, wait, thought they were coming up...pick the image from your files before hitting the post button and don't hit the post twice or the picture won't come up!

Thanks Sue and Barbara. These were the full shoe type. I just couldn't get them on. I guess a back strap pair would be better for me then, as I have a high instep. See Barbara, I knew what you meant. LOL. Annie B.

Hi Ashley. I missed all the party stuff last night so I am going to have to get caught up on the fun they had last night. Looks like the cams are busy today too.

thanks, I have no life, so this is my new thing.

Oh, Annie, they usually wear neoprene dive booties with the strap kind, so it gets a little more expensive because you have to buy more equipment...and the strap kind usually cost more...good luck with finding some that fit...I'm looking too, my old ones are worn out!

Ashley. This is far tooooo addictive.

Ashley, this is a good thing to do..you'll learn a lot and maybe want to take up diving or snorkeling...I'll have my daughter Alison who is 14 now get on line this evening...she's just started peeking in and posting too!

Barbara. They have a pair I can borrow that are a little too big for me. I guess I could try them out for starters. Just want to see what it's like with fins, but don't really want to buy any just yet. If they fall off it won't matter, I will only be in the shallows. Annie B.

Triples..! Now I know you will both keep up so I really will have to get back to work! LOL

Barbara,
LOL. Yeah I already dive. I'm 16 and have been diving for 2 years. I've dove in panama city, cozumel mexico, quarries around ohio and i think thats all.

Ashley you have to talk Steph into diving. I know she would love it if she would go with all you guys. It looks like Kelly has had an awesome trip so far. She will be so bored when she gets back home!

hey lisa
Yeah, when we were all in mexico we tried to talk her into it. But when she went snorkling on the beach she got stung by something, so I think that discouraged her a little bit. But I think she will cave in with the peer pressure...after all, shes the only one in our "future family" that doesn't dive.

Follow the leader

I hate that she got stung. She held a jelly fish when we went to Garden City Beach and she really liked it. She will cave when she see's how much fun all of you have. I know she will want to be a part of that. Did you see the sign Kelly held up for your dad? It was so cute!

Yeah I saw it. I copied it and sent it to him incase he didn't see it I haven't seen steph in forever.....I'll have to drive out to their house when kelly gets back.

Sounds good. Everyone keep posting the great pics and have a great day.

Annie,
Where in the world will you test your fins ?
Here you are gal ! First it starts just with snorkel and mask in Cyprus, now you want to try fins ( in ??? ), and I bet next year you are diving Small Wall with Jake.
Great !

They are getting out. Dive is over.

Here we go again!

Coming out...not really in sync!

Is that Kelly in the 1254? Hair looks too red!

Hey, Ashley...you are so lucky! Got any underwater shots of yourself for your profile pic?

I would say yes, Barbara.
Pay attention to the former posts. They were 3 divers and Kelly is the only one to wear a spotted diving suit. Another detail : she always brings her camera with her.

Looks like Cynde stayed out of the water today...hope you feel better SOON, Cynde!

Good eye, Martine!
The suit & hair color must change with the cloud cover/light from above!

Busy day...

Time for a new thread...http://www.oldbonairetalk.com/newsgroup/messages/626/99647.html?1057770896

I don't know about other colours, but I noticed ( after scratching my hand on coral ) than blood turns dark green underwater.
