Good evening gang, how was your day??  Mine went by so fast as I kept so busy today.  I did two sub dives both with VIP’s aboard from either newspapers, t.v. or local radio stations.  On the first dive I got to photograph the giant school of Boga’s again, this time even better shots plus I got photos of the sub and it’s passengers watching a giant 6 foot long Green Moray eel eating on the reef, that was so cool!  On the second dive a friend showed up so he ended up following me on a dive with the sub to see first hand what this baby looks like underwater.  After I took the normal people shots in the front window I gave the OK signal to our sub pilot Bruce and off we went holding onto the sub at 70 feet down the reef.  Our destination was this big Orange Elephant Ear sponge that you see here that I had found weeks ago and thought it would be great to shoot with the sub.  I got into position and again gave the OK signal and seconds later here came the sub and stopped right behind the sponge for a quick “Kodak Moment”.  The two beautiful ladies inside are from a local radio station called Paradise 103.1, you can check that out at www.paradisefm.an  The girls were some of the best models I have ever had, they never stopped smiling!  I lucked out in getting some Brown Chromis and a single Creole Wrasse into the photo as well, that’s what you call perfect timing!  After about three minutes I gave my last OK to everyone aboard and I waved good-bye, it was time for me to head to safer depths and for them to get on with the tour, it was a fun dive! 
 
Not much else to report, Aimee had the day off, she took the dogs for a long walk this morning after the rain and spent the rest of the day keeping busy.
 
I’m out, later folks, Barry
