Really nice macros, Jon.
Caloy, I really like the reef shot with the schools of fish.
Jon, on dives where I'm not sure what I'm going to shoot, I stuff my WA lens in my BC pocket, or sometimes I just leave the pocket open and spin the lens off and zip it in when I want to shoot macros. A lot of folks have those lens holders on their strobe arms as well. One of these days.....

thanks larry. i use a backplate & harness system but i forgot to attach the pocket silly me. besides i don't have a wide angle lens yet (just made my case to the wifey )

anyways, advice such as yours and caloy's made me one level wiser. i'll be diving davao next week and your inputs will be put to good use.

thanks Larry....
more.....
you do a night dive in the Light house area and you start seeing a lot of this individual swimming around you. I think they are attracted to divelights and the site looks like a disco when you're in a big group.

how big are the shrimps caloy? like suahe or those used for bagoong?
