French Maid at 22 meters.

French Maid at 22 meters.

This photo is authentic with no photographic manipulation. Taken on the Bow of the HMAS Swan wreck, Dunsborough, WA. The female dive master with excellent breath hold ability has no scuba equipment within easy reach. Three very experienced back up divers are just out of shot. Readers should be aware that this shot took "many hours" of practise and preparation using very experience divers with in excess of 2000 dives. She is dressed in a French maid's out fit with high heels, suspenders and stockings (no neoprene), a pony tank is hidden under ironing board. Photo is copyrighted.
