I could stare at this all day…

Reef

I love just looking at the reef. Park yourself in front of stretch of coral and you’ll watch the whole thing come alive in waves.

Give me shallow water, an AL80 tank and I’ll stay down a good 90 minutes. One dive in Thailand lasted a good 77 minutes — my personal best — and I could have easily been down longer.

God bless diving.

Headed for Pondicherry and diving

Look at that bite

My mother is here in India visiting. We’re taking a little trip to Pondicherry in what was once French colonial territory until 1954. I’m also going to get in a couple days of diving. Mom may give it a shot, too.

Shy little bastard. Come out and play.

Not very funny for a clownfish.

Creatures of the Andaman deep

A full gallery of images from diving in the Andamans. All in one place. To accompany a story on India’s nascent diving industry, the unofficial headquarters of which is on Havelock Island, smack in the middle of the Bay of Bengal.
