YABWT-Yet Another Browning Wall Thread (Photos Galore!)

Post by lundysd »

Lynne did a fantastic job describing our trip to God's Pocket last week, so I won't add much in the way of text. I do, however, want to say that Bill and the entire God's Pocket crew made our week of diving absolutely stellar. From the amazing food and the incredible dive boat (and the &#^$ing ELEVATOR!!) to the laughter and BSing, our stay at God's Pocket is exactly what all dive vacations should be. Bottom line: Browning Pass and God's Pocket is, in this humble diver's opinion, the pinnacle of cold water diving destinations.

Now on to the photos! I actually encountered a problem I've never had before on this trip -- the dive sites were so encrusted with life and color, it actually becomes hard to find something to focus on and become the subject of a photo! With that in mind, here are a few photos that I think turned out well. For the full gallery of 70+ photos, please visit the following link...

Gorgeous photos, as I have already told you. And it was a distinct pleasure to dive with you and Peter up there. I can't wait until next year!

What color, what beauty - and not only the wide angle ... Superb.

Thanks for the kind words everyone -- it was a real treat to be able to shoot in such a beautiful place, and I hope the images can convey that feeling (at least until each of you can visit yourselves).
