Take Only Pictures

There is a saying among divers, “Take only pictures, leave nothing but bubbles.” I think the original quote was more land based (…leave nothing but footprints) but the ecological message of both sentiments is the same. The oceans will only remain a beautiful and natural resource if we, as visitors respect the reefs and its inhabitants. In keeping with this I’ve added a new shop to my line of dive t-shirts and gifts. See a couple of the images below and if you want to see the rest of the available styles and products, please visit theNothing but bubbles section in my shop Wear My Dive Art!

Here is a new design that I’ve added to my dive shop. Divers Fly is the name of the design. Oh I know you may think that divers swim but if you’re a scuba diver and have ever felt that wonderful neutrally buoyant feeling you’ll know it’s as close to flying as we’re going to get. Not to mention the feeling of flying through a drift dive. So I’ve come up with this tattoo inspired design of a pair of angel wings with a dive flag heart in the middle. It is available in several color variations so come take a look and pick out your favorite. Click here to go to all the shirt and gift options at the store.
