Sorry for the absence, I had a busy few days with a number of new avenues arising for the Scuba Club, which kept me off the computer more often than not. And then I had a man-cold that kept me out of action for a couple of days.
Since then, I have been preparing a couple of presentations for some initiatives that Peter and I are hoping to kick-start over the winter.
In preparing one of the presentations (a 15 minute show designed for in-school presentations to junior and high school students), I've come across some awesome imagery. I know that it's not my photo, but I just had to share this image of a great shot of a giant grouper:
I love the way the grouper is emerging from the shoal of smaller fish. Of course, I should also admit to you all that this is therapy for me. While I have never really had any serious fears of swimming with bull sharks or reef sharks, for some reason, grouper have always sort of given me the willies. I distinctly remember being petrified when a giant grouper slid past a hole in the interior of a wreck I was swimming around in Thailand. It was so ghostly (and we were pretty deep) and so just seeing a giant eye and then a massive grey slimy thing slide past my eyes almost made me drop my regs. So posting this goliath is a small step towards getting over my fear of these guys. They're just so big!
If you have some great underwater photos that you've taken, please feel free to pop them over to me and we'll try and post some of them on our website. We're in the midst of getting a "news" section added to our site, so that's where we will likely put them up for now.
In case you haven't received and email from me or checked our facebook updates in the last week or so, don't forget that this Thursday is our monthly Club Night at Ryerson. We hope to see some of you there. We'll be bringing some new tools to help you improve your buoyancy skills. Email me if you are interested in popping down.
That's it for today, but remember .... don't sit on the scorpionfish!
