Tuesday's (3/16) Maui pics

[Gilligan]

Today's dive was a mixed bag of treats. Immediately after my descent a Manta Ray briefly appeared on the scene. Shortly thereafter a baby Spotted Eagle Ray appeared. It looked to be no more than two feet across.
All the photos were shot in Manual Mode.

Love the reef shot, there is so much going on, but it's not too busy, btw, what was your depth? The surface background is very cool.

rjens I am guessing that reef shot is at 50 feet since the depth there is 60 feet and I was kind of at the top of the reef.

Once again, my thanks for bringing some warmth to a cold, snowy, icy, slushy drive home (and it only took and hour and a half). Absolutely beautiful.
