I've always been attracted to water, something mysterious, grand, powerful about it. i got the first urge or interest to dive about 15 years ago, but waited another 5 after that till the time was right to go get certified. I got certified in 2012 and ever since then there has been no regret.

I picked a few more diving pics from my underwater videos this morning while drinking coffee and waking up. Video and pics taken with Gopro8 off Florida east coast.

Hopefully this is a steady uptrend going into the spring time after the rough winter.

Of all the things people say that scares them about what lives in the ocean, or dont want to go swimming, #1 is sharks. Well I beg to differ. Photo credit: Ripley

I can't believe I forgot to post these pics until now. This was from a few weeks ago. I actually ran into this school of fish. I'm not sure what kind they are. I wish I was better at fish identification. These were a bigger kind of fish, probably twice the size of my hand. Pics taken with Gopro8 off Jupiter, Florida.

On my my last diving trip I heard a sound underwater that I never heard before. Usually all you hear is your regulator as you inhale air and blow it out and make bubbles, or a boats engine on the surface as its passing by, but this time I kept hearing these "pops" every once in awhile. They were a little muffled because of the water, but very distinct. Then it dawned on me what it was. Dont mind the guys over my shoulder in the background, they're just spear fishing. Hint hint.

Who doesn't like black and white pics right? I'm on my long surface interval till I can jump back in the ocean. I plan on buying a underwater light before my next dive to see under some dark overhangs and ledges to look for creatures hiding from cameras view, especially those moray eels. Have a good morning.

From the Coinbase website! Four tips for enduring market turbulence 1. If you started buying crypto during the fizzier months of 2021, recent volatility might have left you with whiplash. Wasn’t Bitcoin just at an all-time high in November? It can be hard to stay calm when markets start to shift, but it’s a lot easier to make smart moves if you have a plan. 2. Keep emotions out of it. It’s okay to feel anxious, but don’t let anxiety dictate financial choices. Emotional trading can lead to badly-timed trades, like selling when prices are lowest or buying at a peak due to FOMO. 3. Think ahead. Buying and holding isn’t right for every asset, but during a market downturn, consider your long-term goals. Did you buy with the intention of selling many years in the future? If so, it’s probably ok to stop refreshing that tab and take a deep breath. Consider dollar-cost averaging. Dollar-cost averaging is a popular strategy for reducing the sting of volatility and taking emotions out of trading — it involves buying a smaller amount of crypto every week or month no matter what the market is doing. 4. Trade within your limits. Are you planning to “buy the dip?” Remember: No matter how confident you are about a particular asset, you should never put in more than you can afford to lose. (And when in doubt, speak to a trusted and certified financial advisor.)

This post I'm sharing today is a little bit informational. The 3 air tanks(cylinders) in the pic were the ones I was using to go diving on my 3 dive trip. At the top of the tank there's a yellow sticker with some numbers. Two of them say 35 and one says 32. That's the % oxygen in them compared to a normal air fill which is 21% oxygen(outside air). The higher oxygen% offsets the nitrogen % in the tank which allows me to stay at a deeper depth for longer before I have to ascend a little bit without accumulating to much nitrogen gas in my blood which cause decompression sickness. Thats the best simple explanation I can give for people who dont scuba dive.

This picture I took on the first day of my recent diving trip. It was 7:30 in the morning, nice and sunny, and only a couple hours later it would turn cooler, windy, and rainy as a weather front would pass through when we were out on the ocean.

@Diverdude76

Just hanging out, just below the surface looking down to see where the other divers are at. All of my underwater pics are taken with the Gopro8, which so far doesn't disappoint with the great pictures.

@Diverdude76

Here's a picture I took when I was a few miles off the coast of Florida looking back at West Palm Beach, Florida.

Heres some more pics of sealife I encountered on my most recent scuba diving trip off Jupiter, Florida. Sea turtles, barracuda, and sharks. The water temperature was low to mid 70's. Very good visibility, and 4-6 ft. waves on the surface.

Getting ready to splash in the ocean off Jupiter, Florida. This was from this morning. For people that dont know why I have my hand over my face, is to keep my mask and regulator in place when I hit the water.

@Diverdude76

Here are a couple great pics of me this morning waiting for the dive boat to come pick me up. Jupiter, Florida.

@Diverdude76

Here is just a few new dive pics from this morning off Jupiter, Florida. I haven't even edited the turtles, sharks, sting ray, and barracuda yet.

I have booked 3 days of diving starting tomorrow morning! I will have new pictures to post for weeks to come. Tomorrow is wreck dives. Tuesday is deep ledges up to 130ft deep, this is a hunting dive, but I'm not hunting. Wednesday is reef drift dives. 😁😁😁🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️
