Sharks, manta, cuttlefish and more from Burma

[Gisle]

In January/February I went on a liveaboard from Phuket (Thailand) to Burma. On this thread I will show you a few of the 1200 shots I made.

For still shots I use a Nikon Coolpix 995 with a wide angle in my Ikelite Digital housing supported by a Ikelite DS125 Substrobe.

I also did video with my digital Sony in my UnderSea housing supported by two strong UnderSea video lights

A scorpionfish resting on a gorgonian sea fan, Burma

This beautiful nudibranch was approximately 6 cm long, Burma

Another cuttlefish - seconds before it was attacked by a large grouper

The cuttlefish blowing out ink while beeing attacked. I think it got away.

Ever wondered why people go scuba diving? Well, I guess you're all scuba divers so you know. I love it, and bringing camera gear down gives it another dimention - for me.

Going sailing AND scuba diving is close to extacy ... That's why I do both

The cuttlefish was attacked by a BIG grouper, approx. 1m15cm long. I saw the grouper with its wide open mouth, but the cuttlefish was gone - I think it got away.

:whoa:

Have you seen this before? My dive guide Ekk opened his mouth near a 'cleaning station' and two shrimps entered his mouth :wacko:
