Underwater Mediterranean

[Rob612]

Critics and comments are quite welcome ! The camera is the little Ixus 500, filler light with only my UW lamp. And, of course, the camera has its own UW housing :)

[Rob612]

Same as above...

I like the first shot!

What fish are these? Morays?

Best regards,
Andy

Yeas, morays. Rare to see two in the same hole, at least here...

lovely, terrific and unusual sights (for those of us above ground):)
the second shot is especially good .
the first one bit me:lol:
beautiful colours

how deep were you ?

[Rob612]

I do not remember exactly, but the two morays were deep enough to need a flash (and I oly used the buit in but there was little suspension, so it worked out. Gotta check the dive profile but I do believe it was at about -30 (meters, that makes about 99 ft.).

The other two are night shots, don't know exactly how deep but the place where we did that dive had the bottom at about -12 (that is about -40) ft so it was shallow. But it was night, so only artificial light. The thing that makes me sad is that in that night dive I took a lot of really nice pics... but I forgot to put the ixus in macro mode, so I just saved 2 or 3 (the only that were in focus) out of about 100 instead of the usual 15/20. :(

Edit to add: I still have the picts of that dive available on the Internet, just to remember myself not to be an idiot anymore and check what the setup of the camera is (with the Ixus you have ALL the controls available... Idiot me, nothing else to say). If you want to take a look, here are all the others. I let them online to have friends telling me that I was an idiot. I'll deserve it :evil:

Actually, its what my Italian-English dictionary translates as a mullet. Sort of small fish that hunts at night. Almost invisible during the day, at night you can find them relatively easily and in shallow water.

Under water housings rock.
