Its a thingy that fits in the hotshoe of a dslr and links to your strobes letting you trigger your external strobes using the ttl settings of your camera.

worth mentioning perhaps that in some areas (although certainly not in your case which sounds silvertippy as they come) there is antoher possible confusion species if you just look at the dorsal fin as there is a colour morph/subspecies of grey reef shark - Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos wheeleri...

You should be able to achieve a nice horizontal position with either conventional or bpw bcds regardless of the type of diving you're doing. flexibility of weight distribution on a bpw set up may make it easier to obtain that position. I think a bpw may actually be easier for newbies as they...

Then what do you call it when you tell it how much you love it and how if it promises never to flood you'll never upgrade??:D :D

topside wildlife: and a fave fishy portrait:

short term (every dive): have fun, see cool stuff, stay safe, take nice pictures long term: See 50 species of shark u/w (almost halfway there).

This thread was a much better discussion of the issues at hand imo: http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=144436 I'm not particularly keen anytime someone joins a forum with a post like this and no background as to where they come from on the issue.

first two were from our own gardens, last two were from JR O'Neale Botanic Gardens, Tortola (lizard) and Singapore Botanic Gardens (Frangipani)

stick some aloe strips on it too! (link contains profanity): http://www.theonion.com/content/node/33930

One of those watchman gobies that cunningly get a pistol shrimp to do all their hardwork (digging tunnels etc) for them.

not sure how I didn't find this thread sooner - its great. Here's a few more:

a couple of topsides: and one of my favourite recent u/w shots (not sure why as its technically so-so but I just like the vibe of it):

This is why we should all try to use latin names if we really want to avoid confusion.....

Yep - Its bad logic and factually screwed up. I like to challenge them on logic rather than emotion on this one. Ask about the fruit of the salmon tree or when they last saw a field of cod plants. Should add I'm not going to get in anyone's face about eating anything as that doesn't solve...

Why not? we're very credible here in the uk!:D I think for the most part the companies probably don't care but if their buying public think the stats are right and care about them - they'll go for it. Organisations like the RSPB have turned onto the longlining industry too as a result of...

If only sharks were furry and cuddly all would be sorted by now. The way I see it there are a number of problems to be worked round: 1) People (generally, not so much divers) aren't bothered about just fish - take the number of "vegetarians" who tuck into salmon. This is a perception we'd...

LMAO I am still intending to learn how to play. I jsut haven't got started yet. Maybe I should just head down to the nearest crossroads and learn the easy Robert Johnson way :D

An excellent point. I started dive training at 13 and did my first o/w dives at 14. In a quarry in the uk. It was cold and murky. Now I like cold and murky and I even liked it then but in ill-fitting gear that I couldn't get the hang of compared to my previous experiences I pretty soon lost my...

There was something taking swans at one of the bird reserves over here and when they did a survey it turned out to be a big wels (Silurus glanis).

How large a shark are we talking about? Oceanic whitetip is another possibility.
