Islamorada Davis reef 3-20-13 trip report and some pix

[deeper thoughts]

The seas were beautiful today. Less then a foot no current and an honest 60+ feet of viz.
The water was around 71/72 degrees per the dive computer and boat gps.
Saw green moray,spotted moray, 2 lionfish, plenty of groupers and a nice assortment of crabs.

My wife took all the pix with her Olympus Tg1( no housing or strobe)

Good to see the shots. About how deep did you guys go diving there?

Is she authorized for this position??

Tough TG-1 iHS | Olympus Wasn't familiar with such a camera. Looks like it does have a built in flash. Any particular reason for not using it down there?? At that depth in the clear water, you obviously can get by without the flash. Pics look good. Fascinating.

I am sorry. She did use the built in flash. I meant to say no housing or external strobe. It is a nice little camera
