Awesome pictures Larry!

What kind of equipment do you use? Both topside and below?

I am green with envy. I need to make a whole heap of cash to do the sardine run, dive with gw, a safari and a trip to Moz for the whale sharks.

Since you corrected my baby frogfish to a baby pufferfish, I feel it is emcumbent upon me to let you know that is a cheetah rather than a leopard

Did you ever find your baby frogfish photo, I would love to see it...

Absolutely right. Mea culpa.

AND I can't find the froggie or the leopard shot. I'll check the home PC tomorrow as I've been away for a job interview.

"encumbent" - I like a fellow wordsmith!

Really really nice. Especially like the Whale & Calf & the white shark. Amazing to get so close to these subjects.

Must have been an amazing trip. Looking forward to a trip report!!

Sorry, didn't see this earlier, I have a Canon 5D and for all of the underwater shots it was housed in an Ikelite housing, no strobes, just ambient light, and using a 15mm Canon fisheye lens f2.8.

Next year I'll bring a 24mm for underwater as well to try for better shots of the more skittish sharks.

The topside stuff is all with the same camera with a 70-200mm f2.8 l lens with 2 x teleconverter on occasion.
