EM5 in Cozumel - report and pictures

Many of you may not look at the Cozumel forum, so I'm posting a link to my recent trip report and pictures here.

Cozumel trip report and pictures 2015

No equipment problems this trip: mode cap is glued down and the camera's flash unit worked as advertised (I do carry a spare).

Friends upgraded to full frame DSLRs, huge, heavy and very $$. I'm still loving my Oly mirrorless camera.

Great images! I just picked up an Olympus E-PM1 as a stepping stone to learn on. I have a lot of nice pro cameras that I use for my work as a photographer/videographer but since I'm relatively new to diving I wanted to start small since I have other skills that I need to master before focusing (pun intended!) on doing photography primarily. Would love to meet up with you to pick your brain or do a local dive sometime since I see you're in PV. I'm nearby in Torrance. Cheers!

great photos, did you use the 60 mm macro lens?

I played with the 60 mm lens on a shore dive in front of the hotel. It's an amazing lens but on the reefs I never know what I'm going to see and the 12-50 gives me the capability of taking pictures of nearly anything.

You can set the macro switch on the 12-50 mm lens before you put the camera in your housing, but you can't revert to zoom until you take the camera out of the housing. Cheaper than buying a 60 mm for macro.

Great pictures!!! I have the same camera and lens. I have been to Coz a good many times but there were a lot of the critters you took pictures of I have yet to see - good reason to go back. Coz is one of my favorite destinations too thanks for sharing your pictures
