Underwater Photos from Mochima National Park

Thank you Almitywife! We will check out those dive ops at Kurnell! Hopefully we'll get to see those weedies! Abyss dive does guided shore dives on Fridays, which is the day we would go. Will let you know how things go! J.

Hey guys! We will be stopping in Sydney for 3 days on our way back from PNG next November. Any pointers on a dive-op in Sydney that could take us to see the Weedy seadragons on a day-trip? Are these guys around that time of the year?? THANKS! J.

Hey guys, Looks like things are moving backwards in Ecuador....2 weeks ago, president Correa revoked the 2004 ban on the sale of shark fins from Ecuador, as long as fishermen can prove that the shark by caught "accidentally" and not "intentionally" - how are they going to work that one out...

Thanks guys! Never thought switching to an DSLR would be so complicated...and I haven't even bought the housing / strobes / ports yet! I think for now I'll go ahead and get the 15mm fisheye (probably with a 1.4x TC to help with the corner sharpness), the 50mm sigma macro and the 100mm...

Alcina, one more question: I see you like the Sigma 17-70mm lens as your "I don't know what I am going to shoot today" lens. How does it work when you have a zoom lens UW? I presume you have to choose a certain zoom before putting the lens in the housing and lock it, right? Also, how would...

Thanks Alcina, I'll find out from Ikelite or reefphoto about the port for the 50mm. J.

Thanks for the advice Alcina, I'll make sure to shoot some before the trip, although I have to find a pool first! Which port does your friend use with the Sigma 50mm? Could I use the Canon-specific 100mm flat port, or do I need to buy yet another flat port?? J.

Thanks guys for all your good advice! I checked on Wetpixel, and looks like the "standard advice" is to start with a "medium" macro lens (50-60mm), which you can use as your work-horse and macro lens, and then move on the "full" macro lense (100-105mm). I really enjoy shooting macro, but...

Hey guys, I've been taking dry pictures with the Canon 5D using a Sigma 28-300mm lens and am pretty happy with the results. I feel ready to take the plunge and start to outfit the camera for UW photos! I'd like to ask your opinion about lens choices for wide angle and macro shots for this...
