One of my dives was in Brazil at Abismo Anhumas (www.abismoanhumas.com.br) - it was awesome!

Nelson, you need a camera for those dives, I bet you saw some amazing stuff there.

Brazil it is! World Cup 2014 and I am there! Buzz, lets start planning (and saving)!

I was thinking about buying a camera but I could not justify the expense. I was smacking myself underwater when I wished I would have pulled the trigger and bought it. Amazing coral and sea life! A few sharks, eals, turtle, manta rays, and crusteceans.....I don't want to talk about it!

lol

Dude how awesome would it be to watch a World Cup game in Brazil!

I had a cheap underwater setup that I used in Panama and Hawaii that took decent pictures. It is a Nikon Coolpix 5600 inside a WP-CP3 housing. No strobes, but I got some decent shots (and you can take movies too). Should be able to find the camera and housing on Ebay for around $50 each. My wife has a Nikon D80, and I have thought about getting a housing and strobes for it, but I would always be nervous about flooding. With my 5600, I don't worry about flooding, plus it is small and no one wants to steal it.

Did a night dive with my wife and caught this eel eating a fish - which Alina wasn't too happy about.

Thanks for sharing. I can't show this thread to my wife. She's already scouring travel deals. Just the other day she was telling me about a deal on a trip to Barbados. lol

While I was in high school, my Boy Scout troop spent a week in Cape Cod getting certified. The idea was that we would be certified for our trip the next year to the Bahama's. Great idea, but as a poor high school kid, I couldn't afford it and only went on a handful of dives the following year. But after seeing your pictures, I might have to look into taking a course again for my next trip.
