Underwater Photography

Katryna is a certified PADI Scuba Instructor and is working on perfecting her underwater Photography. i think she is quite talented but she is really critical of herself. i think where she is at she is wonderful, but like her, i want to see her grow and mature into the kind of photographer who can get published and make some money from one of her many passions! Thanks to Katryna, i got hooked on to one of her favorite underwater photographers, Tony Wu. Check out his BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS!!!!

i was ok'd by my Lyme Doctor a few months ago to get certified to scuba dive as my asthma has cleared up and i am no longer on any asthma meds nor do i have to see my asthma doctor again. It was a result of the Lyme, so i am glad one big thing out of the many is gone! So, i had been putting it off after i starte reading chapter 1 of the Padi Book in August while Katryna and i were in Key Largo for her underwater photo class with another of her favorite underwater photographers, Stephen Frink. NOW, i am back with Katryna giving me a schedule and i finished chapter 1 yesterday.Today i will work on chapter 2. Then i will have 3 chapters to go. While we are in Sacramento at the end of January i will do my pool skills at Katryna's old employer, Dolphin Scuba. Hopefully come spring we will head back down to Key Largo where i will do my checkout dives! i am REALLY EXCITED about becoming a full-fledged diver rather than a 'bubble watcher' as snorkelers are so affectionately known by scubal divers! Maybe scuba diving will be another way i can keep my sanity with my illness! i can only HOPE!
