    Wow, what a memorium. I guess its kind of a reminder too that that diving does have its dangers.
    :-(

    Thanks for participating in Watery Wednesday. :-)

    Great shot for Halloween week! Sometimes when I see the photos of big scary creatures you post, I think about underwater graveyards!

    Just kidding - Happy WW!

    Hi Bobbie - the marker's shape was a giveaway, I guess.
    Have a great Wednesday!

    This is such a cool shot for Halloween! I love the infinite ways to show water. This is a new one, for sure. And it's beautiful as well. Happy Watery Wednesday.

    This is different, a memorial in the ocean bed. Have never seen one like this before.

    I wondered what you would do for halloween, neat choice but it would be a bit spooky to come upon if you didn't know it was there.

    A great idea to put a gravestone on the spot where somebody died outside the house.
