Thanks! I am very happy with it. My photos are like my golf game. If I get 1 or 2 great shots then life is good.

This was taken with a canon G16 compact camera in a modified Meikon housing (hard wired manual strobe control) and a subsee +10 in jpeg. No RAW, no post processing. I am too lazy to screw with my pics.
 
Jim says "I've been stung in the past, WA setup and macro opportunities and vice verse." Haven't we all Jim.

Lucky I have limited imagination for WA or I would be kicking myself even more than I do now!

One of my first u/w cameras was an Olympus 5050 - great little camera. The Oly housing had 67 mm threads on the lens port and I carried both macro and WA adapters on every dive. I could shoot anything with that rig.

I replaced the 5050 with an Olympus E-330 dslr. My first dive with the E-330, I mounted a Zuiko 50 mm macro lens. We dropped on a local wreck and discovered a school of juvenile Mola mola in the water column! Although I've seen solitary Molas, I've never seen them school since that day. I have a pretty good image of a Mola's eye taken with the macro setup.

A couple of years ago, I went WA on a dive in Cozumel. The dive guide found a frogfish (rare in Cozumel) smaller than my little fingernail. No, I didn't even try to take a picture with the 8mm fisheye!

I hate when that happens.

My dive buddy, Margaret has an even more bitter tale. She was shooting macro when a California gray whale came to play. She has a great picture of a barnacle on the whale's side.

And don't ask about the dolphin encounter when I was all set up with supermacro!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim: If Diving photography was meant to be easy, the subjects would just lay around posing in 10m of clear, warm water with no current.
 
I was in Curacao in October, right after the hurricane just missed the island. I was happy to capture a Dark Mantis Shrimp (Neogonodactylus curacaoensis), something I've seen once or twice but never long enough to get a good photo.

Hi everyone... I just bought my OM-D EM-1 and will be diving with it for the very first time this upcoming weekend, can't wait! I have the Nauticam housing with a 12-50 lens, zoom gear, and a flip +5 macro lens.

I do however have photos from my recent trip to the Philippines, plus lots of pictures of my local diving in Vancouver, BC Canada with my old set-up... please stay tuned for photos taken with the new Oly. :)

If any of you are on FB, please add me as a friend, I am on there more often than SB.
