View Full Version : Your diving Desktop Wallpaper/Background?
Right then, seeing as how we all use computers (or try too..) do you have a diving related desktop wallpaper/background on your PC??
My current one is this from my dive the other day:

only joking... sorry, T2T, couldn't resist having a fiddle (smut alert :eek:)
Anyway, following Regthing's suggestion, I've got my dogfish photie from Carrick Castle a few weeks back as my laptop background. It was excellently lit by my glamorous assistant on that dive (Gord's wife! :rolleyes:) by her Light Cannon. I really have to get hold of one of those (LC that is... not a glam assistant!).

Your shot is mega-cool also! :cool:
I too can't blow bubble rings... is it a smokers' skill? :rolleyes:
I had to look again to remind me. Again very original it's the Azul you get with Windaes XP. I like Gareth's sunset pic, nice

I am geting quite used to looking at the greenness. I would have cleaend it up by now but my skills with photoshop arnt that good and i'm too damn busy to learn how to use it just now.
I have pictures of scorpion fish that I like, but they are hard to spot, unless your colour blind in the red/brown/green region.

In photoshop:
Image menu > Adjustments > Auto Level, Auto Contrast and Auto Colo[u]r
Mileage may vary but these three are handy for a quick touch-up (smut alert?).

That's the kind of question you're not meant to ask.

almost, but no cigar, i used the term 'conger alley' loosley in a bid to deter anyone from actually finding this wreck.
in actual fact, its closer to 'twin piers' but i am not giving out the co-ordinates, so please dont ask. ;)

Aye, no-one would want to dive it anyway, it's getting rather boring. Plus look at that crap vis, sheesh, I'd take the Gaerloch wrecks over that any day.
I took this one at the Caves in Loch Long last night...

Tsk, I take it you couldn't find the proper cave then? Oh and what's with the dangling kit? (wags finger) Here's a pick taken a little way along to show you what you missed.. just a shame the caves are getting so popular these days :rolleyes:

Fortunately, that muppet was not my responsibility. :eek:

thats the 'swim through cave' you have captured it well.
last time i ventured through it with my twinset i jammed a wee crab to the seabed, it wasn't at all happy about it, neither was i as it came scurrying out from below my belly.
as i emerged from the cave, there was a plume, like an atom bomb of silt.
as i looked round for my buddy, i saw him emerge behind me, he did it in zero viz :eek:
time to paint the cylinders again!
