Photos from last week in Bahamas & West Palm

[Dr. Doug Ebersole]

I just got back from a weeklong liveaboard shark & dolphin trip on Jim Abernethy's Shear Water (Bahamas & Palm Beach, Florida Scuba Diving :: Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures). It was a last minute thing for me when a guest cancelled. The guests were made up of a family of six and several friends, two of which were snorkelers only. So the main emphasis of the trip was dolphins but we got in some nice diving as well. No Tiger Beach, but a single "shark dive" at El Dorado with a single bait crate. Here are a few images from the trip:

Great Dolphin Shots!!

 

[deeper thoughts]

Fantastic. What camera system do you use?

These were all taken with a Canon 40D in an Aquatica housing and dual Sea&Sea YS-250 strobes. Wide angle images with the Tokina 10-17 lens (at 10mm) and the macro was shot with a Canon 60mm.

Very Very nice. Looks like you had a great trip and brought back some great pix.
Did the rebreather help you get close to that turtle?

I saw the turtle on a night dive about 11pm and he didn't care what I was doing. He was just sleepy! (I'm sure my strobes going off in his face wasn't very helpful)

I'm sure after the first flash at that range, he couldn't see you anyway.:cool2:
