Bottomless diving......
Well not really but we were in 700' of water today on the offshore rigs. My sub can go that deep but I sure can not! Saw huge bait balls of fish, birds swimming at 50', and sea lions swimming around. Great dive day with unbelievable visibility.

I'm I the only guy that read it as "bottomless driving"?

The surface shot looks a bit scary, but once under the surface it looks quite beautiful and peaceful.

Yes, I too, was frightened by the notion of bottomless driving.

A whole other world within the earth's depths. Beautiful.
