Photos from Hawaii.

Note: This is all shot using a rebreather so its quite substantial bottom times I have, generally less concerned about nodeco limits.

All these images are in format of i.imgur.com/foobar.jpg however if you grab the url.. it will be i.imgur.com/foobarh.jpg remove the trailing h at end of foobar and you can view full 12 megapixel images :)

Here is a few Youtubers!

Here is a image I modified a bit to make it clearer.

WOW. Great pics SD

Sick shots, man! I'm surprised at how many Galapagos sharks you saw at Molokai versus so few hammerheads! I've been twice and seen one sandbar and oodles of hammerheads. Do you think it had something to do with the rebreather? And why no stills of the sharks?

Umm I am not sure why Galapagos but it was not sharky really at all till recently so the hammers are coming back. I do have a few stills of hammers but not worth it, that same day I saw a wall of hammers about 12+ ghosting off in distance it was very hard to show them.

As for the theory of rebreather, I have seen images and have images I do not own copyright.. If anything the hammerheads like the rebreather more. I have in my videos hammers doing circles in front of my dive buddy... its just not exceptional thus not included.

These are not ideal... But hey

Color enhanced to hell to show hammers.

So here is Enenui, Sadly I did a stupid thing and set camera to Manual Focus thus busting the first hour of my dive...

I no longer use Imgur for my images given their 4/10/12 update to Terms they can shove it.

Great pics!! What is your setup?

[letsdive64]

The shot of the two divers above is great, you should frame that.

[SlicerDicer]

Great pics!! What is your setup?

I am using a Canon 60D with a 10-22mm USM 1:3.5-4.5, Ikelite DS161 strobes and then the Ikelite Housing with the 8 inch dome. I also have 16+8 inch ultralight arms now.


The shot of the two divers above is great, you should frame that.

Thanks for the kind words.

[SlicerDicer]

Welcome to Moko Ho'oniki Rock, I would not be able to do this dive without Lahaina Divers, Thanks much for them tolerating me doing my shenanigans :)

[Deefstes]

That's a magnificent collection of pics! Thanks for sharing.

[alcina]

oooo, hammerheads! So pretty!

[Nitro91]

whats your camera setup?
some nice shots, must get a rebreather in the future

[SlicerDicer]

I posted my specs of my camera rig in the last page, I still am learning how to use it :)

[Nitro91]

wow so you have a full 60d setup and a rebreather lol. thats like 15,000 plus right there

[SlicerDicer]

Something like that?

I mostly lost count or I would go insane.

[SlicerDicer]

I will just note, I am doing IDC right now as well as there is cell issues with my rebreather. I am not sure the next time I will post pictures but I will post more again. I put safety above all and my rebreather is not in a safe condition with multiple failed cells. I had 3 total report incorrect values out of 5. That leaves me with two working cells and that is not enough for voting logic.

[SlicerDicer]

Well I did another Dive, I am using borrowed cells till my new ones get here. I hope you enjoy the video and me yelling at my dive buddy over the hammerheads.

[SlicerDicer]

Guess should post some updates :)

BTW, Cell issues dealt with I went to different ones.
