I have included just a few of the 3358 photos I took while I was at WDR. I use a Canon SD870IS PowerShot Point-and-Shoot camera with a Canon underwater housing. I do not use the built-in flash on the camera or any external flash. The SD870 has a programmable button that allows me to reset the Manual White Balance as often as I want. I reset the Manual White Balance every 5 feet as I descend or if I see the lighting change.

Excellent trip report - all three posts and the pictures are spectacular. Looking forward to an upcoming trip there and excited that it sounds like everything we've been promised is for real!
 
We overlapped at Wakatobi and I can certainly support all of the positive comments. Full moon with its higher tides and currents was September 29th; currents were somewhat less the next week. I started in a 3 mil and switched to a 5 mil during the first week; a couple of others dove in skins.
