Looks like the storms didn't hurt the diving too much. Nice pictures.

As usual, great pics. How do you get the black background for the clown fish shot?

Set the shutter speed high (ie. on my D300 I max it out at 1/250).

That shot was at F5.0 and 1/500. I then evened out the black background in Photoshop.

1/1000 would make a darker background but then I would likely have to increase the strobe power and/or lower the F stop.

Beautiful shots.

Nice set. I liked the perspective on the anemone/fish. Nice composition. Nice black background as well.

Jim, Great shots as usual. I especially like the crispy details on the Halgerda nudi. The viz looks like it was awesome that day.

Excellent shot Jim , it appears your compositions are very good and you have a nice choice of subjects.
