Great photos and report. I am glad to hear that other people were cold - well, not glad that any of us were cold, but glad that we were not the only ones feeling the coldness.

I got lucky because I was sporting a new wetsuit, but two of the guys in my class got really cold and had to thumb their dives.

I thought that suit looked fresh. :biggrin:

Robert, is that last picture you took using a wide angle lense?

 

[rhlee]

All of the pictures were taken with a W/A lens. On a dSLR, the lenses mounted to the camera body inside of the housing, so whatever you pack you get for the whole dive.

With a point-and-shoot wet lens, you have the option of putting it on/taking it off during the dive

Robert, is that last picture you took using a wide angle lense?

Thanks Robert, I can't put a lense on my housing because stupid canon has the oval shape for some reason and Inon isn't supporting it nor gonna have a mount for it. That new housing they made is just crap!

This is going in the photography classifed section soon. So sad I bought it too.
