Underwater in the Bay Islands, Honduras

Colorful coral

 Scott has been diving pretty much every day with Jim & Renate on Emerald Seas. They have a dive compressor on board and in Utila they filled their own & Scott's tanks. In the West End of Roatan we have the tanks filled at Roatan Divers, such nice people, who let them rinse their equipment, shower and keep our dinghies there. He and Jim even did a night dive one evening. I've been swimming for a half hour every day and snorkeling alone or with the others.
Scott took all these shots with his new underwater camera! It's a very basic waterproof case over a simple digital camera but takes pretty good pictures as you see here. Jim and Renate have much more complicated apparatus and take some very spectacular shots. An external flash might at least be in Scott's future.
