not to sound like a dick, but is that photoshoped? You can see the clouds in the sky pretty clearly. I dive and I have never seen a stillness of the water surface or clarity that good.

[–]skippyG 20 points21 points ago

The photo might have been taken just below the waters surface. He's most likely standing since sand ripples are visible just past the watch.

That might explain why the clouds are reflecting on the watch face.

[–]SloppyPowerBottom 9 points10 points ago

That's the most probable, look at how small the seahorse is too. It's my understanding that when they are young they live in really shallow water, ~5 feet, and go to deeper water as they grow.

Also, the reflection is too clear and the wrist appears dry. As if it were below glass, not water.

or it was taken with a good underwater camera in clear water.

[–]Itakemycock3atatime 0 points1 point ago

A photo that pretty is impossible!

[–]Tyrien 1 point2 points ago

I'm going to try and upvote you towards positive in hopes that the comment was sarcasm.

[–]omnimatty 7 points8 points ago

My god its full of stars.

[–]skippyG 3 points4 points ago

Is this your photo? Great shot either way. If it is, what make/model camera did you use? I'm looking for a good underwater camera.

[–]taterNuts 24 points25 points ago

it's Mind_Virus, of course it's not his photo.

[–]Tophmeister 3 points4 points ago

He's almost close to 1mil link now..damn it's gone up quickly as of late.

[–]skippyG 5 points6 points ago

[–]GroceryBagSlave 1 point2 points ago

i made this my banner picture.

[–]brettit 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, this is front page material. Submit this to /r/pics if you haven't already done so.

[–]Gangreless 6 points7 points ago

I'm sure he's submitted it to a dozen subreddits at this point.

[–]memarianomusic 0 points1 point ago

OMG A FLYING SEAHORSE! Oh that's right, it's underwater.

Cool watch, bro.

[–]B0BUS 0 points1 point ago

Those are some DAMN hairy arms you got there!

[–]rcrracer 0 points1 point ago

Since sea horses have a top speed of five feet per hour it isn't like the sea horse swam over to the watch to check it out.

[–]Dirante -2 points-1 points ago

wow i can't stop looking at the divers arm. He/she looks really old.

[–]mixxster 15 points16 points ago

The fact that you believe this could be a she is disturbing me.

Some Europeans, man...
