Sweet. One day I hope to make it to over there.

Edit: OMG. Would you just LOOK at that ritteri. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

PS. What kind of camera did you use? What underwater housing? When I dove the GBR 4 years ago I didn't have the budget for a decent UW housing so I took pictures using a cheapy underwater disposable camera. Pictures came out accordingly. These ones look like whatever you used, worked out not too bad. Any info appreciated.

Yeah I seen them eat it and then they used the shell as a sink when they built the bathroom. I think it was a maxima. There was also a gigas clam where they were diving but I'm sure the thing weighed 100 lbs , so I don't think they got it!

The camera is a little Sony digital USC60 I found in Calgary before I left. It's only waterproof to 5 ft and the display is pretty small but I think it worked great. It has a setting to take the blue out on underwater shots without a filter, uses memory stick and AAA's. It was still cheaper than a housing for my Canon. Here's a link, I think it's discontinued now but you might still find one.

The picture of the jellyfish should be entitled "It seemed like a good idea at the time".
