Cannon A70. Unfortunately, most of the pictures ended up a bit out of focus. Now going back and reading on the photography board, I see I should have set my camera to Macro mode to get better focusing. Oh well, something to try next time.SeanQ:
Thanks,

Vis at Keystone wasn't bad ... maybe 20 feet or so. I stayed up there and did a night dive at Langley, and vis was better than 50 feet! From the edge of the tire reef I could shine my light all the way to the fishing pier pilings. I haven't seen vis like that since I was in Bonaire last year ...

No ... after the Orca Bait dive I went over to Camp Casey for the rest of the week-end and helped with the specimen collections for the Seattle-Pacific University aquarium.

Very Nice, Jason. I'm impressed. My favorite was the painted greenling (I assume that's what it was). What kind of housing and strobe are you using with your Canon?JasonH20:

Ron, Bob, we didn't see you at DP. We went DOWN at predicted slack. This worked out well and since we had live boats we could just go one way. The current did change maybe 35 minutes into the dive but it was not strong enough to bring us back to the beach before our gas ran low. Next time I think we will go down 10 minutes AFTER predicted slack. Vis was ok.

Some people's schedules changed, and they couldn't make it. So the rest of us decided to make alternative plans.
Jimmie and I ended up at Day Island Wall for the morning dive. Then I went up to Keystone and dived with Jason for the Orca Bait dive. Then I spent the rest of the week-end up at Camp Casey with the Emerald Seas Dive Club doing specimen collections for the aquarium. Actually, my most memorable dive was at the most boring dive site ... Langley Tire Reef ... because vis was the best I've seen in Puget Sound in perhaps two years. It was a night dive, and I could shine my light at least 50 feet and still clearly see the subject.

I'm off in DC this week, so I can't get the model number off my enclosure.geraldp:
But it's the only one I'm aware of for the Cannon A70. I just used the built in camera flash, so no "strobe" so to speak. I tried taking some pictures of the general landscape, but those didn't turn out at all. The only pictures worth seeing were at very close range. Hence next time I will just set the camera to Macro mode and be happy taking close ups.Thanks,
Jason
Ugh...jeffkruse2000:
After looking forward to this dive for most of a year, I'm really, really bummed I didn't get to do DP again this year, especially with conditions so ideal.

Oh well. Maybe someday.
