Hey everyone! I had an amazing time this past Saturday on the Peace for the Mo2vation boat trip, thanks Christian!
I had a previous camera setup which I only used once. It has no manual settings and I didn't have a strobe so I almost all of my pics came out with a ton of motion blur. I just got a Fuji e900 with an Ikelite housing and Fantasea cool nano strobe. I would love some tips and constructive criticism on what can be improved. Please keep in mind I'm still figuring out how to dial in the settings, including the strobe. If I ID'd anything wrong please correct me. I thought about posting this in the photography forum but decided to post it here because I'd rather get advice from my fellow cold water divers who know these conditions.
Thanks!

Sculpin - Sorry it's so blurry, I got excited when he swam under me and opened up his fins, this dude was HUGE!
Bat Star
I have no idea what this is. Can someone ID?

Abalone, thanks Debbie! Sorry it's so badly overexposed, better the pic than me.
Kelpfish, saw this right after Debbie pointed out and hand fed the Abalone
The Arch at Landing Cove, I dig this one.
California Sea Hare, probably my favorite pic.
Out ascent on the last dive. Sorry for the bubbles, it was hard to stop breathing
The ride home. It rained until we pulled anchor and headed back to the coast, still an amazing trip. I shot this with my topside wide angle adapter, haven't gotten the one for the housing yet.
Thanks for your constructive feedback, I'd rather improve than make repeat mistakes.
