In the photo above, that’s the end of my weight belt intruding on the right, and my leg (I think) on the left. In the photo below, it’s one of the chest straps of my BCD that has seized the moment for fame.

Sometimes the underwater results are a bit vertiginous, like this shot of the sand (with my camera lanyard intruding on the right).

In general, however, I find the above-water accidental photos far more interesting. More to follow…
