Latest underwater photos

Hi all,

Just been on the Black Manta to Komodo. HAd good fun on the trip though diving wasn't fantastic and overall, I wouldn't go there again.

However, some good photos available here which include the Black Manta itself!

Yeah, wasn't overly impressed with the trip regarding the diving: Komodo has some huge currents so we wanted to see the big stuff that swims in the currents. The boat had one engine down though so couldn't go as fast as it should have done between sites and couldn't get to the further dives sites. That was a bit disappointing.

So a few macro shots of sea slugs are there, but got some of the wide angle stuff too.

Let me know when you've captioned them; at the moment I'm just going through thinking, "that's cool, what is it?"

You wish is my command. I've done as many as I can. I have limited knowledge and only two identification books.

For some reason, I keep reading the title as Underwear photos....not that one would associate FB with such a statement....

Used my new (well, Xmas present but first time underwater with it) Canon S95. All seemed to work well and like some of the macro shots much better than any previous camera took (all Ixus).

I did any post-processing with Picasa rather Adobe Photoshop Elements: I may go back an re=do with Photoshop just to see what difference there is and if it improves the photos.
