Cozumel Xmas Pictures

[howard4113]

I've put some of our diving pictures on:

Took the Xmas tree worm pictures Xmas morning.
No sharks - but we did get a turtle, rays and moray eels.

All taken with Nikon 4300 / FantaSea case / Sea&Sea YS50 / Mathias' TTL adapter.

Cozumel is my idea of a perfect place. The diving is fantastic - lots of stuff to see. Ah - the margaritas are the best!

See Ya!

Great pics, thanks for sharing. Looks like this was taken at Chankanab. We were there last August. I am looking into updating my camera equipment, so I may look into your config. So far, I am leaning towards the Oly C5050 and PT-015 housing (thanks to Dee and TedJ). This looks like a nice combo also.

Thanks again for the memories and inspiration.

Man you are good! Although the pix are from 9 dives in different locations, most of the best shots are Chankanab. We did that dive on Christmas day. The Christmas tree worms were the first thing I noticed. My son and I were very excited to see them as we'd been looking for them all week. The big green moray came next. He was a whopper! Just came swimming by and startled me good. He seemed to enjoy posing for close-ups. The divemaster (Alberto) pointed out the spotted moray hiding in the rocks. Chankanab is like flying low above a beautful painted desert. The current was slow enough I could wait for the jawfish to emerge from his hole without losing the rest of the group. What a great dive! I'm going to give myself the same present next year.

I'd agree on your equipment accessment based on two critical items:
1. Ability to turn off pre-flash (enables use of ordinary slave strobes)
2. Ability to auto-focus in low light.

The Nikon does neither of these - although the TTL adapter works great and solves problem #1. I use a flashlight rubber-banded to my strobe to assist focus. It helps during the day, but doesn't work at all at night :-(
