no worries man, happy to share.

For underwater I'm using a Canon IXUS 960IS in a Canon underwater housing with a Inon Fisheye lens kit. This is my first shot at underwater photography but I have a decent amount of experience with fish tank pics.

Pretty happy with the results so far. Thanks for the interest!

Thank you very much all around.

Tried my hand at night photography tonight, unfortunately I had a dive buddy with mini suns that over exposed about 75% of my pictures and he scared away a bunch of fish. Here is what did come out.

These things are trippy and crawl around everywhere... but only at night to filter feed.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Had to get out the regulator to control the breathing, its time to go diving again. What kind of camera setup are you using?

Thank you very much everyone.

Using a Canon IXUS 960IS digi cam with a INON fisheye lens kit, pretty cool piece of gear. At night I have a INON Z something or other strobe. I'll post a picture of my gear sometime soon.

More pictures, not a great day but alright.

Stone Fish! Most venomous fish in the world. Love getting within a few inches of a animal that can potentially kill me in 4 seconds :D :D

And to give you a idea of most of the reefs we've been diving. Here's a shot near the surface. Now you know why they call it a wall dive.

I hope you relize how lucky you are to be able to do something like this. I am disabled and broke and been that way for years and would give anything to be able to even snorkle. I have been in love with marine life as far back as I can remember. Its all I think about everyday.
