(no subject)
oooh, i am on a journal roll! i guess it is feast or famine with me. so this is another happy entry. being a dive instructor and underwater photographer, you can imagine i am quite addicted to diving. one of the biggest sacrifices for me while being pregnant was to give up diving. you are not even supposed to dive while trying to get pregnant, so you can imagine it has been a while since i dove, just over a year actually. i cannot tell you how long that seemed to me, HOWEVER, last sunday i got my fat, non-pregnant butt back in the water. and despite it being one of the most uninteresting divesites around, ooooh it was good! i even managed
i love the fact that these shrimps are so swedish with their blue and yellow stripped legs.
yes, i am a bit of a macro junky, and the undersides of jellyfish just look so cool, good thing they are not modest.
hmmm, a bright green pipe fish, i really got to learn the species here in sweden.
i think it must have been crab mating season, there was some serious hanky panky going on down there.
thought i would put up at one wide angle shot anyway. the visibility was only about 5 meters, and that was when nobody was busy stirring up the bottom content, so wide angle shots are just not so easy to come by on such dives.
and of course zoe was a doll, she was sleeping in the baby björn (those baby carriers you strap on you chest) with her grandpa on shore through both dives. i only had to give her lunch, but she was not patient enough to let me get my drysuit all the way off, but i cannot complain she let me dive!
i am hoping to get some diving in before the weather gets too cold here in sweden. we are still planning our yearly migration to warmer climes, we are just waiting to get zoe vaccinated, then we are off. looks like it will probably asia again this year, thomas wants to be a home daddy while i am teaching diving, but then he told me his idea of home daddy was to hire a thai girl to watch zoe whenever she is fussy, while he lays in a hammock and drinks beer on the beach, hmmm, don´t think he is going to get away with that.
