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!

I guess one can have a traditional Hallowe'en celebration under water :)

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.

A little creepy, but also cool.

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.

Lori said...

Wow...that is cool and sad at the same time. Happy WW my friend. How's the weather in Hawaii? Thanks for dropping by:)

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