canon g9 ikelite housing

 

[under water]

Those are great pictures Matt.
Where was the yellowhead jawfish? I have never seen one, never mind one with a mouthful of eggs.
Also, can you elaborate a bit on your camera setup. Any wet lenses or strobes?

thanks
the jawfish was at the eden beach shore dive.
they are everywhere there. and they are not very shy. he let me get really close.
although I did have to sit there for about 20 minutes before I got the shot
I wanted

I use the canon g9 in ikelite housing with one ikelite ds51 strobe.
in this shot i did use the inon m67 ucl -165 closeup.
hope this helped

Beautiful photos.

I am heading down in November for trips #6 and am always interested in comments on lodging. Where did you stay?

We stayed at Golden Reef both trips 4 and 5. Its nice and quiet.
sometimes its too quiet.
We have also stayed at Plaza which is also really nice but
its quite a bit more expensive.
have fun on your trip
