    Standing up of course...





    A French photographer got very lucky while diving in the Mediterranean. Very lucky...

    What can only be described as a once in a lifetime bunch of photos...

    Default To be honest, in answering your question....

    "Yes!" Matter of fact. That was the first thing on my mind when I woke up this morning. It would have been a terrible day if you hadn't told us, and shown us.

    Thanks anyhow. Question? How do we know the cameraman didn't just turn his camera sideways for that shot?????

    I thought it was very cool! I liked the part about 1/2 the brain staying active while sleeping too.

    Hell, that's way more than some people have active when they are awake.
