Watch Me Dive With Whale Sharks! - Page 4

PhiSig1071 · 02-10-2009, 03:43 PM

It was pretty damn cool! One of the guys diving with us was a paraplegic, which was pretty amazing.

The whale sharks were BIG but very graceful (like me!

) and were a real pleasure to dive with. Got up close to a couple sand tigers and REAL close to a hammerhead, which was absolutely amazing. I'll get some pictures up when I get a chance.

AMJ: I used to be a DM on a liveaboard in the Keys, it was the best job I've ever had. I'll be filling in for a week in April this year, I'll post some pics.

So, did anybody see it? I was the second buddy pair, third or fourth guy back.

Rock on man!!!

I dove with the whale sharks once. I wasn't suppose to but 10 shots of Tequila and some Jagerbombs I ended up planning on riding him on a magical rainbow to Mexico. Unfortunately I mistaked a Whale Shark for an Electric Eel.

Yep, a nice DVD, if I can figure out how to upload parts to youtube I'll do it.

Yeah, I figured the camera quality wouldn't be the best. Thanks for checking it out anyway!
