So I got married in July and the missus and I went to Aruba for our honeymoon. Had a great time and did something I always wanted to do, scuba dived a coral reef. I bought one of those waterproof disposable cameras to take some pics. I didn't expect much but the pics actually came out pretty decent. Figured I'd share them since they're kinda cool.
Bear in mind I'm in no way a Nat Geo photographer here, lol. This was my first dive ever after only 2 hours of instruction with an hour of that in a hotel swimming pool. I was pretty nervous but it all went smoothly.
Anyways pics here:
Going down!

It was awesome to be able to do something I've only read about and have seen on tv. It was only 25 feet down and the dive masters are there to baby sit you but you still feel like Jacques Cousteau. The fish are everywhere and come right up to you. If you ever get the chance to dive a coral reef, go for it.
