DIGG IT! I spend all of last week diving in the Coral Sea on Holmes Reef. Holmes Reef is outside of the Great Barrier Reef and is about as pristine as you can find. To say it wasn't amazing does it a wild disservice. I was on a 14 person ship diving 5 times a day for 6 days. I had my digital camera on every dive and took some 500 images. Diving like this really clears your head and given no internet or cell coverage I was really unplugged. Diving doesn't get much better.

Now stop drooling and make a commitment to get dive certified this year! Also I am going to put together a dive trip to Bonaire or Grand Cayman for later this year called "The Flex Deep Dive" 50% diving/50% Flex. More info on that later on, IF it passes legal. :)
Cheers,

Wow. Really nice photos.
Coral sea is pretty cool, but it pales compared to the Similan Islands off Thailand.

Flex Deep Dive? I'm totally in.
Great photo. If you work out the trip to Bonaire, here is a great place on the beach to stay with diving right out the front door:
