Dive Site: Something Special, Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles
Marine Life: Peacock Flounder
Camera: Olympus SP-350 w/PT-030 Housing, Sea & Sea YS-25DX Auto Strobe
Settings: 0.58 Wide Angle Conversion Lens @ f5.6, Sea & Sea YS-25DX Auto Strobe @ f4
Description: I found this flounder laying on the bottom at about 20 feet. It took about 5 minutes and 20 pictures with the flash firing each time before I could get close enough to take this picture. Of the 6,000 we took during this trip, this is by far my favorite. |

Settings: Lens @ 22mm @ f5.6, Sea & Sea YS-25DX Auto Strobe @ f5.6

Marine Life: Baby Octopus
Camera: Olympus SP-350 w/ PT-030 Housing, Sea & Sea YS-25DX Auto Strobe
Settings: Lens @ 14mm @ f5.6, Sea & Sea YS-25DX Auto Strobe @ f4
Description: I was able to get this great shot of a baby octopus during a dusk dive at the Town Pier in Bonaire before it went in its hole. Fortunately it started showing a few black dots on it's body, or it would've been really hard to see since it is perfectly camouflaged. |
