It's in focus, but the vis was pretty awful. As Kevin said, it looked like snot in the water. ;-)

How does Kevin appear to be so effortless in the water? But, wait, where is his camera?

Good diving, Craig

I meant to keep the picture being seen in the thread or having focus on it, not the quality of the pic :cool2: Looks good to me and effortless as well. You guys are spoiled as the vis looks good to me. Just look at the distance between the third diver (not Kevin) and the barrel sponge. You can barely make him/her out. At my regular dive spots closets to Bangkok that would be considered a better than average day.

OK, now I get it. ;-)

Remember, I was using a fisheye lens, so I was very close to Kevin in that picture. Probably only 5 feet away or so and the other divers were probably not more than 20 feet away. That's the beauty of the Tokina 10-17. Even in bad vis it looks good. With the seahorse pic, the port was about 6 inches away from it.

Hey everyone it is wilhelmina I am posting for scubakevdm. He has recently moved and does not currently have access to the Internet. Here is the latest update on the diving conditions in Boynton Beach. After almost a month of green water we have finally had the blue water move back in. The vis was about 60ft with a thermocline that started in about 50ft the temps were around 83F and 70F with the thermocline. The warm was moving north while the cold water was headed south. There has also been alot of activity on the reef kev saw a shark pounce something about 15ft in front of him yesterday he believes it was a Caribbean reef shark. The turtles have also been out and about quite a bit lately. For those of you who have been diving with us we have just signed the papers and now own the dive shop across the street.

Here's a pic from today of yours truly communing with the lobsters.

Thanks for the update Wilhelmina. I see Kev taught you how to blow out a page with pictures.

Congrats on the diveshop purchase. I think Kev pretty much ran the place anyway.

Wilhelmina Thanks for the great report. Have been spending my time practicing macro at the bridge,
but will be up soon as I need to try to get a photo of that big Bull shark we saw last month
(no wimpy leaping Carib reefs for me - well okay maybe one would be fine!)
