For me those pictures loaded ok. Especially I liked that shot of starfish! Classic composition. I'd maybe have taken it so that middle of that starfish would be in the golden mean. But that's just me. Lovely wide angles!

Beautiful Pics... What kind of camera setup do you use? I'm not a professional underwater photographer... but i was considering buying those underwater cases for my canon powershot. At least for starters. What do you think??

Powershot is a decent camera! Actually some powershots are more than decent. You can get good results with those. Just remember to use manual white balance. Or actually check that your camera has one before getting a housing. Without that you need an external strobe to get good shots. I started with canon powershot a70 and was quite satisfied with the results. Especially focus was very fast. That helps alot as you and your target tend to move. I didn't use zoom since you pretty fast end up having low shutter speed but I tried to ge as close as possible. That's the key for getting good photos. Get close, shoot, get closer, shoot, get even closer, shoot, but don't harrash sealife

Sorry if I stole your thread Ed

Thanks Kapula & ScubaChick!

I'm using the Canon PowerShot S80! It's a really good camera & affordable too! It's good enough for, cos I'm no Pro either!

Just like what Kapula said, Canon have some really cool cameras! I'm sure you'll be able to get some really good tips from the Pros in here!

Kapula - No problemo buddy! Infact, you're actually sharing rather than stealing!

Well then I can go a bit more offtopic My buddy is to spend 6 months starting january in Penang island Malesia. Where would you recommend to go diving from there? Are there good waters around Penang? I'm planning to visit him and at least go to Thailand to dive. I've been in Kota Kinabalu once but those waters were all dynamited. Loads of small critters but as I had just started diving I didn't pay that much attention to them. Now I'd kill to see that many seahorses

Well! There are a couple of places that you can go to nearby Penang, but the water and diving is not that good. I would recommend that you go to the islands around Terengganu (Redang, Perhentian, Lang Tengah or my favorite, Tenggol). The only problem is, the monsoon season starts around mid of October! Then you won't be able to dive there till March next year!
Borneo has some really good macro and muck diving!
