Marshall Islands Pics





These were taken last week in Majuro and Arno Atolls in the Marshall Islands this was some of the best diving I have ever seen There seemed to just be acres of Acropora Gardens and The fish life was fantastic, I thought you guys would enjoy.

Last time I was in the Marshall Islands ..... well I can't really talk about why, but it was Military related. We used to watch the fish and especially sharks from shore since we weren't allowed to dive while on duty but I have always wanted to go back as a civilian and dive. Thanks for wetting my appetite!

aruba,
I can't believe you actually spelled that! Yes it was. Beautiful island as far as the waters are concerned. Within the next two decades I will go back to the islands and dive there.

Wow, those are some awesome pictures. It sounds like the diving trip of a lifetime!

Did you apply any special effects to the last couple of pictures?
