That is a great shot Ed, what did you shoot it with and did ou have to do a lot of color correction?

[Diver Ed]

Thank you Leslie. It was a bit of a jury rig set up. I used to shoot a Nikon F4 in a Subal housing. I bought a Nikon D60 that was small enough to fit in the old film camera housing, with a bit of adjustments. Unfortunately, I had to preset settings, and adjust the power on the strobes, as that was all I had access to. As for color correction, I did not do any.

Well the results are great. Most shots here are murky and green. I don't shoot UW but love to see good shots from my home turf.

1 question. How long is the average boat ride from dock to dive site?

[Sharklover]

1 question. How long is the average boat ride from dock to dive site?

Depending on conditions, 1.5 to 2 hours out and back unless it is a special site. Sporting seas slow them down a bit. It is worth it!

[WreckWench]

Stan the boat we use rides VERY low in the water (its a crew boat) and so has a very smooth ride but it can be a bit bouncy at times or flat calm like a pond. It does not take long for the body to adjust to it.

As Leslie says... ITS WORTH IT!!!

After diving the world this is still one of my top 5 destinations!
