ayai napa's looovly must admit

 

They have turned out well for a disposable what depth were you at?

I need to get back into it again! Scuba Diving is superb

 

Andy - deepest we went was 10 meters

 

At the time of doing our PADI which we did in Mexico the lass I was seing at the time was right in to her photograph etc, Ive only got a few pics but here they are, sorry about the quality as some were taken on a night dive, and all taken using an SLR rather than Digital Camera.

 

cool pics!!!

in only opened this thread though as thought youd of got some nekkid kinda beach pictures of women!!

 

Thats fucking quality that is! love it!

 

Nice pics

 

Go to the Red Sea you will love it.......

 

Those pics are beautiful, both Smit and Andy

Now Smitty... Where's the nekid ho pics?

 

Nice pictures folks, going away in november for a two week scuba holiday myself. Counting the days down (90 to go).
Can't beat that weightless feeling.

 

I have dived exactly the same spot as you mate and banged the big rock with my dagger handle!!!!!!!

my mate helps run the dive shop next to mcdonalds in protaris!!!!

and we went there for octopus hunting!!!!!

did you dive the ferry whilst you were there???????

Pugo

 

Ayia Napa

The Jasmin Inn

 

Pugo - i know the shop u mean dude We also see a few Octopus's.......but by the time we found some all my film was used up When we were packing the gear back up my intructor was saying that if u try and pull the octapus's out from their holes it don't work...he says the best way is to keep pushing them into the hole then after a while they will exit of their own accord! Did see one wasn't that big but was the 1st time i've ever seen one!

I went diving on 3 seperate occasions...1st time was with some newbies...didn't really mind.. 2nd+3rd was to Green bay (in pictures) I indeed banged the rock aswell...and couldn't believe my eyes how many fish there were

If i had a bit more money i would have done the PADI course (which Andy is on about) as it gives u a proper qualification Maybe next year

 

Smit - ho pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here's a few of the ones I took in 2001. Enjoy

 

^^^^

There I was looking at the fish and rays, and turtle thinking "wow thats beautifull" then I see this dirty great shark and say "holy shit! fuck me!!!!"

Was you in a cage or loose with it? Is it a blue shark?

 

errr is that a shark???????????? fook that!

 

nice piccies smit and the rest

 

just out of curiosity

how much does scuba equipment cost ?

do you rent it or buy it ?

and how much training do you need for it so you could go out in a group ?

cheers...........matt

 

Smit, Thrush, these are grey reef sharks, harmless to humans, in fact pretty scared of us most of the time, you have to find a spot and sit there waiting while they get used to you.

Scuba eqt costs min Ł500, then the sky's the limit (that's fins, jacket, regulators and gauges). Usually hire the tank and weights since they are too heavy to carry on an airplane. Don't get me started on underwater photography 'cos' that's loads more money to do it properly...

Most rent the equipment to be fair, it costs me around Ł120 a year to get it serviced which is more than rental for two weeks, but I have the knowledge that I know my gear and it suits me as I chose it.
Training with PADI (don't know about others) is 3-5 days after which you are pretty much free to dive with a partner who is also trained. Not allowed to dive on your own for safety reasons.
Again, once you have started training, the sky's the limit, there is soooo much to learn...

 

Oh, forgot to say that the camera was on max. zoom when I took the pictures... they look a lot closer here than they were then...

 

Matt - All the equipment/training was supplied as a 'All-in price'

when i went it was Ł37.50 for a 2/3 hours the first time... You did the safety thing on ya very 1st go! (after you've done this there is no need for more training unless u get under 10 meters!) You are taught how to use regulator etc/handsignals/getting water out of ya mask etc etc.

The maximum the instructors are allowed in a group is 4 (mine had me plus 1 every time) so the intructor was never far away

the pictures i have posted are from my 3rd dive of my holiday as the people i actually visited ayia napa with thought it would make a few good memories!

English Goon - find ya own ho's
