Really nice Pictures, many thanks for sharing!

I would almost guess the doplins were photoshopped in there, that sharp and crispyness, as well as the compesition, awsome!

Love, peace and water!

Kars.

Me in mono returning from 30 metres...this was taken at about 7 metres....you can imagine what it looks like at 30
But we love it and spear/dive as often as possible.

Already seen those before on the same site.
Not so bad, the water are flat, which is exactly how I like them, and viz, eventhough blurry much better than what we usally get in Tel-Aviv.

At the begning I also wondered if it was "pasted" there, but it was taken by a reputable photographer, and it also apeared in a reputable israeli diving magazine. I guess it's not fake, just a one of those once-in-a-life-time photos.

I don't know exactly how the picture was taken, but I read a part of an interview with the photographer, and he does use digital cameras and photoshop, which I think it's just the same as filters, but doing it after the picture was taken, not really cheating.

Erik, this proves that any water are better than being dry.

And I think that on some days (especially now), those conditions can still compete with our part of the med, since it's quite dirty with lots of particles form the nile's delta.

Is Costa Brava on the med side or the atlantic side of Spain(sorry for my ingonrance)?
The sea near Tel-Aviv never looks like that.

Great picture Adrian.

The different shades of blue give it a very nice atmosphere. Cannot wait to see more of them. Will you place this one and perhaps some others too on your website?

Michael,

Are those corals growing on the wreck, that look like branching shrubs?

Ahh, it is awesome to browse the world! Great sharing of photos.
