Surrounded
My wife and dive buddy Johanna is surrounded by a huge shoal of Bigeye Travallies (Caranx sexfasciatus).

She has entered the 'Tunnel of Fish', perhaps? Fascinating!

Wunderbar... wie von Dir gewohnt :-)
Norbert Probst  Danke vielmals. Das "wie gewohnt" ist mein Problem. Ich setzte uw oftmals meine eigenen Standards und alles, was unter meinem Durchschnitt liegt, findet weniger Beachtung, ja wird quasi als selbstverständlich hingenommen. Selbstverständlich sind meine Arbeiten aber für mich nie. Es ist ein ständiger Kampf um das Limit und gegen mich selbst. Ich glaube, du verstehst, was ich meine.
Schnette  Ja, das verstehe ich sehr gut - kenne ich auch von mir.
In diesem Falle meinte ich eher, daß mir Deine z.B. in der FC schon oft aufgefallen sind. Da ich dort aber nicht abgemeldet bin, hab ich Dir noch nie gesagt, daß sie mir gefallen :-)

A fantastic shot!
I've dived Tulamben only once, around 20 years ago. It seem still to be worth it
Norbert Probst  Thank you Lars. Today it's a diving circuit. But this was arround 07:00 AM, when vacation divers are still sleeping.
Lars Grepstad  Always good to get going in the morning. We use to go out 5.30 if possible, and dive at first light. Not many t-shirt divers then..
Norbert Probst  Nice to see. But at that time you miss the light.
Fantastic!

Hey Norbert, seen your portfolio on the Bubble... Absolutely love your work. You must be the most fortunate person in the world going to all the spots you do and shooting with what seems like a magical ability to create beauty. You're a blessed man!
Norbert Probst  Thank you Richard. I love the Blue since 1977. 1980 I started uw-photography. Since that time I worked hard to have the opportunity for traveling. Because this gives me the best I can have: Diving at extraordinary sites.
