Pic of the day: Tom-pot Blennie, Weymouth

Tom-pot Blennie, Weymouth, originally uploaded by fractl.

Every so often I'm going to post a "pic of the day" featuring a diving related photo. Now, I don't have an underwater camera myself so I'm going to be taking them from Flickr (a great resource for this sort of thing). I'm in the market for a camera though and I'll write more about this later.

Today's photo is a beautiful tompot blennie (click on the photo for credits). They are my favourite UK fish and its always wonderful to see them - usually hiding in little nooks and crannies like this one. When I showed a picture of one to my friend she didn't believe that it could be from the UK because it was so "cute and colourful". Superb!

Welcome to the Bubble Under blog.

Hi there, this is the first post of the Bubble Under blog. I intend to use it as a place to talk about scuba diving matters and document my dives. I'd consider myself an intermediate diver. I've got about 70 dives logged so far in a mixture of conditions - tropical and UK waters.
My training was initially PADI, with whom I did the Open Water and then Advanced Open Water courses. I then lived with a BSAC girl who got me to join her club and so I crossed over to "Ocean Diver" and have recently finished "Sports Diver". I've really got the bug now so I'm carrying on with my training and am doing the "Dive Leader" training at the moment.
I'm also considering doing the "Instructor Foundation Course" so I can "give something back" to the club but it's quite expensive (would the money be better spent on going diving I wonder?). We'll see...

Thanks for reading - I'll try and update the blog as frequently as I can when I have something interesting to say.
