Here are some pics from my second trip down south with my TG-4. This time, as I went along, I didn't try to reduce the colours that the TG-4 produced, since when I auto-leveled the pics last time, they had crazy amounts of red and then I muted them too much. So this time, towards the end of my editing, I left them as is and just cropped or not.
I used my dive light as my light source, and the TG-4 in the Olympus housing on the Underwater Macro mode but zoomed out as much as possible to get as close as possible. The visibility was crystal clear for these pics in Marea del Portillo, Cuba, perhaps 200 feet, while the visibility in the first set of pics in the Bahamas was 50 - 60 feet 2 weeks after a hurricane and lots of rain. A difference in this area of Cuba (unlike Jardines de la Reina in a couple of years ago) was that there weren't anywhere near as many critters as in the Bahamas or Jardines, so there were a lot more macro-ish pics from this trip. The critters were also very skittish and seemed very bubble and spear weary, so harder to take the pics of flying sealife.
