So mantas? Where got? Just some stupid whaleshark and a bunch of other fish. :p Actually, I found Koh Bon much better than Richelieu Rocks for marine life, particularly the many mantas, but I guess it is just what you see when you are there that sets your opinion.

Yeah, just list everything in a single post under the camera section. No one will mind. The thing that will really, really piss off a bunch of people is if you try to post it in the underwater photography section. Even just alluding to a sale there will or should get you banned. Does that help?

I'm not sure which camera to get but I would definitely get a new friend. ;):bsmilie:

That's one reason why I should try for better pics. ;)

they are mild tempered if they don't think you or edible or a threat. If either of those things occur, they are quite dangerous. Keep in mind they have bad eyesight too.

It swims with its mouth open to filter the plankton. The fish as usually there just for the ride. They either suck onto the whaleshark (like remoras) or ride the bow wave.

As lovely as these and other photos on the forum are, they don't come close to seeing everything up close and personal. For example, the photo of the "mating" jorunna rubescens(?) tells a great story. Watching it inches away with just the sound of your breathing puts you in the middle of a...

Not mating yet but it does look like foreplay. :D The last I heard, what it looks like they are doing may also be illegal in Singapore. ;)

Oops, Sorry. I certainly didn't mean to start an argument. In fact, I don't think we weren't arguing. I believe DH understands that diving that way is extrememly dangerous and life threatening but can he make his own choices. I was just a little worried that other people who don't...

It'ss not personal. I just don't want my trip ruined or cut short to transport a victim to shore. As you have noted, you seem to understand that you'll likely get seriously injured or killed by diving that way so that's your business. I don't have to worry about others on the trip or your...

you know repeating it could very easily kill or paralyse you? As long as you understand that, I don't care - as long as you aren't on a trip I'm on. I should still be able to dive if I just see your body from a distance and it's a different operator sending you back to shore.

I'll sit here in stunned silence.

out of 100 divers, 90 may do the same. Unfortunately 62 of those will get decompression sickness (12 Type II and 50 Type I). 19 will get an arterial gas embolism. 15 will get mediastinal emphysema. 32 will get a pneumothorax and 21 will get subcutaneous emphysema. 5 will die. 8 will be...
