Today was my last Maui dive until I return from Bali, Indonesia. I Have to dry out my gear for packing as I am leaving on Sunday. Be back on the 19th.
Maybe I will get a chance to upload a pic or two from Bali as I am taking my laptop.
Aloha till then my Scubaboard friends.

Footnote: The nudibranch was taken with my Inon UCL-165 Close-up lens. I personally find this lens difficult to use as it has a very limited depth of field. I took a tip from "Tortuga" and set the camera to "manual focus", adjusted the distance to the closest setting the macro mode allows, then moved the entire camera to and from the subject until the picture came into focus in the monitor, then took the photo. This method worked better for me than using the "auto focus" and holding the shutter half-way down to focus.
