That cuddlefish pic in the op is badass. You're lucky it didn't hypnotize then eat you...

I'll see if I can make a gif from some footage I have of a flamboyant cuttlefish after I finish uploading the albums I have already developed.

Philippines upload 5 of 5. I obviously didn't take the last shot. It was done by a friend with a Canon Powershot G16, shot directly to Jpeg in shallow water (Japanese gunboat in Coron) using the aquatic mode in the camera settings for white balance. I touched it up a bit to dehaze, sharpen and add a bit of contrast.

Here's a pick of me golfing a couple days after snorkeling in an unprotected cove on the Kona side of the Bi.
I new way better. I've snorkeled that whole side of that island. Tide dropped out just like THAT,and i was tossed around on the lava reef. What a fucking dumbass rite?

One second you're fucking with the turtles and than the next it's all fucked

My favorite. What a nice shot, you don't see coral like that everyday.

Thanks! I normally don't do so well with wider angles but the water is so clear in Raja Ampat. Hardly any particles to backscatter and no need for higher ISO to make noise.

I hate lava and the Kona side is wicked when the tide turns (golden arches, dolphin tube) it can be nasty without a tide but you have to admit, it's great diving!
