picture perfect day on the water in the upper keys. clear skies, calm seas for a double on the middle deep molasses buoy, M27. blue water, viz a super 70-80+, light-mdt current, water temp 79/80F @ 45-95FT. fleeting view of a large hammerhead cruising the bottom @ 95FT started the 1st dive. great day on and under the water. wideangle pics from timg. kudos to the sancturary mooring buoy crew(pic m12) maintaining every mooring ball @ MO(over 470 within the FKNMS, impressive!!),,,,,,,,,,,

Thank you DT and divingpyrate. Working with the 10-17mm lens for the next couple weeks just for the heck of it. Totally different mindset than the 17-55mm lens.

Nice Pics. How long is a boat ride out to where you were diving? It does not look that far out.

approx. 6 to 6.5 NM from the 2 primary key largo waterways(south creek and port largo),,,,

As always...thanks guys! Oh, how I would love to be able to dive like you do It would be so wonderful to experiment with different lenses and nail down photo techniques. I'm getting so old and only get to dive a few times a year - by the time the next dive trip comes around, I have to learn everything about the camera all over again because I can't remember from the last time
