Phuket, Thailand

Another safe and successful dive trip! I have eliminated the camera fogging issues I had during my trip to the Philippines. However, U/W photography is very different from standard photography and I am still working out my system. My biggest problem now is sharpness and color. My friend said his U/W photos showed the color a lot better than my digital camera showed. My friend is using a 35mm instamatic U/W "Reef Master" camera but we think the big difference is in the external strobe he is using. An external strobe should help if not fix my color and sharpness issues.

Our big finds for the trip were the sea horses and this pair of octopus. The sea horses were often hiding inside hard corels and were difficult to photograph.
