These guys would not let me near them.



For some reason these guys did not like a hundred and eighty-five pounds of man blubber hovering over them.







Star gazing







Thanks for looking.

2. Excellent call XemaSab.

I had not seen a starfish like that before. I googled "Bat Starfish" and now I know what to call this critter.

6. Great pics puerco!

What kind of camera, and underwater equipment are you using?

[puerco-bellies]

8. Thanks bluesbassman

I use a fairly low cost system. The Canon A720 IS

with the accessory WP-DC16 waterproof housing.

The housing was almost as much as the camera
:mad:

9. Thanks for the info.

That rig takes great u/w shots! I had an A70 that I really liked, but someone (who will remain nameless so that I can still expect dinner) dropped it. I replaced it with a Panasonic that I don't like nearly as well. However, I also upgraded to a Nikon D40x that I absolutely love. I just don't think I want to take that under water. lol
