Priceless Photos on SCUBA Dive Forums

What is the saying, that a picture is worth a thousand words? Well, I can attest to that and that is why whenever I take a vacation or look for a new dive spot, I make sure that I get the pictures from the area taken by people who are interested in the same thing that I am. When I first started going to a travel agent, she would hand me a pamphlet with some wonderful staged photos of the area that I was thinking about visiting. Then I started researching different SCUBA dive forums and now I check with people who have actually been there and took pictures.
