Woah, those are some pretty amazing photos!
I'm sure that was such an experience though. Can't even imagine what it must've been like. Very cool!


I'm terrified of the ocean, but I can still admire the beauties that lie within it heh.

Looks very cool

Thx, it was very cool. I actually had a pic of a massive barracouda which was about 1m from me but the camera leaked half way through that dive. It was about 1.5m long an very scary. Just turned around an it was there swimmin past me. I also had a few of a Moray that was at least 6ft but it was slightly too far away an all that came out was 3 blue photos.

Ah thats a shame they would have been good photos to have.

If a camera floods it is not the end of the world. The memory will usually survive (just rinse it in fresh water). One of the divers with use last week flooded his camera on descent but still had all the pictures on the card.

Thx, I am just drying it out now. I will take it down next time I'm out to develop it. Most of the pics i took which led out into open water never turned out. hope this Barracouda one does tho.

very nice pics, i have a fuji f700 and housing underwater digital which i havent used yet, your all making me nervous about all the flooding. should be going diving next month so might be able to get some pics

Mine were only throw away ones Adam so wouldn't worry too much about it. I went through 10 of them an only one flooded because the top fell off, it was probably my fault. I am definately investin in a digital one now as i have got 270 pics but only the ones above really came out properly.
