Well, I decided to pick up a underwater housing for my digital camera. I actually gave up diving a while back because I just lost interest, but now that I have a new toy, and the fact that I will be hitting some new locations, it seemed like a good purchase.

Anyways, just like anything new, there is a learning curve. Camera care, settings, keeping bouyancy, making those freaking fish stay still...

Here are some photos that I took my first time out. It was actually a good sign when I waded in, stuck my head under water and there was this turtle just cruising along. Apparently it was used to people because it could care less that I was following it. The pictures actually came out pretty good. As I practice I will post some more here.

Day one (Hull Bay)

Okay, did a little internet research on this underwater photo stuff. Use manual settings to control the control loss from the water. Use sunny setting for down to three meters and cloudy setting as you go deeper. I am just snorkeling off the shore so no real issue with depth. I doubt I am going to do any deep dives with photos because you would then need strobes and other crap.

Day two (Coki Beach)
