Another PUN:

I believe that I have posted this pun a long time ago. It's a good one however, and bears repeating:

"A vultures boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The Stewardess says: "I'm sorry, Sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

Pretty funny, don't you think?

Bertstravels thinks so.

The British Virgin Islands

For the first time in my life I went SCUBA diving near the Island of Tortola.
Our maximum depth was about 15 meters, where, without a strong light, colours fade into gentle blues and greens. Strong colours, particularly reds, disappear. Nevertheless, it was an exhilarating experience.
Here are some of the pictures I took, and had taken, with a little underwater Nikon.

This rock, near the Island of Tortola, offered good SKUBA diving 

and picture taking possibilities.

I don't know if this is I or my teacher and protector.

This is a shot I took of our Captain.

Please note how quietly this experienced diver is breathing.

Nary a bubble of air to be seen.

My excitement is palpable.

My Captain, teacher and protector.
