If you re-used the card then you will have written over as many pictures as you have taken the most recent time you used it. If you took more pictures this time than the time you had a problem, then there is no hope.
Doh! I can't stop deleting stuff!!! I just spent an hour writing this and then closed IE without posting it. Oh well, it will be easier the second time around.
I only took one photo on the card, so maybe there's still hope for Thursday's pics, or at least some of them. I don't remember very much about the trips beyond that it was kinda rough, slight south current, 70-80' vis and odd pufferfish behavior that I got pics of. Maybe if Fish can salvage the card it'll jog my memory.
I do have the pics from Friday though... well half of them. We did the Castor and the Tony, but I accidentally deleted the Castor pics. I was using a borrowed camera... nicer than mine, a 7070 in a Subal housing. It was awesome, but it took me a while to get used to the different strobes.
Seas were pretty rough, an honest 3-5' with occasional 7 footers popping up, but it wasn't too pointy so it was bearable.
It was kinda rough.
I saw a nice sized bull shark cruising along the bottom with a pair of cobias in tow when I tied off, but he didn't stick around. The current was moderate and to the north, vis was about 50'. It was a good dive, but not spectacular. The goliath groupers were out and about, as usual, but it seemd as though there was less activity on the Castor than there usually is.
The Tony, on the other hand was very active. Again, I saw a shark while tying off, this time a tiger shark, just about level with me, and maybe 35' to the east of the wreck. He was headed south, and just kept on going as far as I know. There were a fair number of permit hanging out, and some crevalle jacks too. The resident goliath groupers were there as well. Towards the end of the dive, every surface of the wreck started smoking as an invertebrate orgy kicked off. Visablity started to drop off inside the cargo hold because of this. We all ended the dive together, and untied the wreck buoy. As I was unhooking, Garnet signalled that there was a shark out off the west side of the stern. I though it might have been the tiger shark again, but it was a medium sized bull shark, about 6 feet. I tried to get a shot of it, but by the time I could get over to it, it was already ahead of me, so no pic.
Terri thinking about jumping down in the front compartments. Sometimes the goliath groupers hide out in there.
One of the goliath groupers considers which is the best route to avoid the guy with the yellow rope. They always look up at me when I'm dropping down to tied off as if they're thinking "Great. The guy with the yellow rope. I was planning on milling around in the cargo hold today, but I can see now that's not gonna happen." Sorry!
The ship started to smoke. I tried to get a picture of it, which kinda worked, and kinda didn't.
