Panama city dive report for last weekend

[Puffer Fish]

Went out on Pat's boat this last weekend. Seas were calm, very little current and the water surprisingly blue.

I have all the big fish pictures I will ever need, so went looking for blenny images. But before that, I have been trying to get pictures of the shrimp that live in gorgonian corals we have around here. Tiny transparent shrimp....the problem is, I cannot see them they are so small, so I just sort of shoot blindly...

Here is the best I could do this last weekend:

There are three in that picture.. all just a small amount out of focus. Darn.

Next up was looking for a species of blenny that is not a seaweed. And that was successful..

Only took me a hour slowly covering a bridge span to find these guys:

The reason it took so long was all the sea weed blennies:

Got a couple of other small fish:

And a couple of other interesting animals:

Don't have huge expectation diving out of Panama city, but this is a nice weekend.

Every site was covered in bait fish, and had larger fish feeding on them.. including schools of tuna at two location.. nice to see.

nice job on the flounder pic. It's hard to make something interesting out of a floormat, but you pulled it off.

It's hard to make something interesting out of a floormat, ....

Not if you cook it right.

Well, that is about the only one.. so after a few dozen, even that gets rather boring. I guess I could just take an eye picture... or maybe a tooth one....not may options.

Thanks Insta-Gator....shows what you can do if you just throw money at equipment and then practice a lot.

Graet pics. I wished I could take that good of pictures.

Mopar, No reason you cannot. All you need is a nice Point and shoot that does raw images, a case, and some low cost strobes...the rest is just setup and practice...and timing, and more practice and making a lot of mistakes, and then doing some more practice...easy really.
