Great conditions at the beginning of the day, no seas viz 65+, no current and 76/77 water temp
winds picked up and viz dropped later in the day
schooling fish, plenty of grouper, one lionfish, pod of 20 plus dolphins on the surface
very friendly turtle
tried for the first time the backscatter wide angle air lens
coral restorations staghorn plantings are doing very well

Very cool. Did you have a strobe? The way the turtle is lit, it doesn't look like purely natural light

My set up is similar to yours.... what camera and strobe settings were you using for the wide shots

My macro shots are starting to approach the quality of yours but my wide angle are way off the mark
