Florida Diving

These pictures are from the reef off of Boynton Beach, FL.
I used a Canon Powershot 850IS with a cheap-o SeaLife strobe and diffuser. The base was a homemade aluminum base because the original base was plastic and it broke (1st dive out).

Spiny Lobster in Coral

Very nice. I especially liked the lobster pic. Some people on this board get irritated with posts of large-sized photos, but not me. The large size made me feel that I was right there. Plus there is a lot of detail in your photos that would be lost if they were posted small.

My in-laws live in Boynton. Any good dive operators close by?

Yes there is Underwater Explorers - SCUBA Diving Boynton Beach, Delray, Palm Beach, Reefs and Wrecks

Excellent op and it's run by a fellow SBer who maintains this thread http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/fl...379-boynton-dive-chronicles-new-improved.html

I Agree 100 %.

Nice pics! I like the lobster one too. With those large images you can even tell that the lobster is carrying eggs.

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe next time I will post them a little smaller. I just pointed the URLs to my gallery.

I went with a charter called Splashdown Divers (Splashdown Divers - Palm Beach County, Florida - Scuba Diving Boats and Charters - PADI Scuba Diving Certification - Serving West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Highland Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Florida.). I frequent Splashdown Divers and I like that charter a lot. Underwater Explorers goes out of the same marina and I would imagine that they dive similar reefs. Although I have never been diving with Underwater Explorers, I understand that they have a nice operation.

This weekend I am going to West Palm and I will be diving with The Scuba Club (Welcome to The Scuba Club, America's Only Country Club For Scuba Divers in West Palm Beach, FL). They are another excellent operation and their facilities are second to none. I will be sure to post some pics after I get back. I'm still practicing underwater photography... trying to get better before I make a larger investment in equipment. The addition of my diffuser made a HUGE difference.
