It was a miserable week in Cocos Island, water was too warm and so sharks were rarely found. It was my first time to shoot raw video with 5D3, some of the color corrections maybe too aggressive. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

I have read reports and water is warm also in galapagos. Is it el ninjo time?
The fact you had no schooling sharks didn't prevent some excellent shots of single specimens I see!
Footage looks good but the image stabiliser looks basic? Were the conditions difficult?

Thanks. I think it was mainly due to positive buoyancy of my setup. My Tokina 10-17 died during the trip and so I have to use Canon 17-40 which requires a 60mm extension tube. The resulting setup is at least 200g positively buoyant.
Yes, I heard El Niño is on the way but I am not sure if that is the reason for less sharks in Cocos. Water was at 28 degree Celsius, so warm that they didn't bother to find rosy-lipped batfish. Saw several hammerheads coming up from the deep at Alcyone, I think they are still there, just staying in depth.

Nice Job. I can relate. We just got back from Socorro and had bad wind, so we couldn't get to the sites. 1 good day out of 6.
