Incredible pictures.

Photographs like this transport the siren song of the caves like nothing else...

Am I not seeing the CCR equipment. Looks to me like you all are diving OC with twin tanks. So how come no bubbles. These pictures are amazing, took my breath away. But I would assume bubbles from at least one of the three. Regardless, stunning pictures.

When you model, you actually learn to time your breathing to the photographer's position of the camera. Camera comes up, you pause; camera goes down (or strobe goes off) and you go back to normal breathing.

Those were the only three he gave us. He did do a cave dive with his wife the following day in a cave named Caracol (currently my favorite site down there), and put up some more pictures from that:

And one from yesterday, although I don't know what cave this is:

JP did a great job with all those strobes lighting up the backgrounds.

Surprised you weren't wearing a hood, even the tiniest cut on your scalp down there is a bitch to deal with

Oh, we were all wearing hoods (as instructed, but I do it anyway). The photos of the woman with the loose hair are of JP's wife, Anne-Marie. I don't know how she got out from under the hood requirement, but then again, they're married . . .
