Brandon,

That's a unique jelly that I have not seen, he looks like a ball of tentacles. Were there a lot of those?

Your pictures are nice but I have a comment. Do you have your deflector placed on your housing? It appears that you are running into the bottom right of your pics black. You probably already know that's the flash hitting your front case.

I have used my Strobe and thought I could avoid the deflector but I was wrong, a lot of my pics are blacked out in that area because I didn't place the deflector.

Well just my two cents...

Hey so are you going to be diving during the MAG comming up in September?

IIRC They are Egg-Yolk jelly fish.

You know now that you mention it I do think the diffuser was off that time. The strobe was working but the camera diffuser had come off. I was so disappointed about the condensation on the inside of the housing that I forgot all about the diffuser! Now if I could only find silica jell that fits in my housing. I think im going to try some mask defog on my inside of my housing. Thanks for the reminder!

I am planning on being there at this point. Still havent remembered to check the on-call schedule but otherwise I should be good to go. You going to be there?
