The crab pic is my fave. Wonderful shots! What an experience, I am truly jealous. I need to know more about the camera setup you have for both above and below the water.

Oh my God man. First of all, WOW on such a once in a lifetime trip, that's a dream of mine to go there one day. And secondly, WOW on each and every photo being National Geographic calibre quality.

Would you mind sharing what camera equipment you were using? Please and thank you

Thanks for all the wonderful comments.

There wasn't any coral reefs. The islands are all volcanic and small sponges and corals grow on the lava rocks - similar to Hawaii. Even though there is 3 currents bringing nutrients to the Galapagos, the water is colder limiting corals from growing.

On land I was using a Nikon D300 with mostly a Nikkor 70-300 mm lens. Some of the pictures are also from my wife who was using our older Nikon D70 with a Tamron 28-300 lens (which she dropped and broke the lens on our last day). Underwater, I am using my Nikon D300 in a Subal housing with two Sea and Sea strobes. I have a Nikkor 12-24 mm lens with a dome port for wide angle and a Nikkor 60 mm for macro. The whole setup is 26 lbs on land. I have foam floats on the strobe arms and around the front port to make it almost neutral underwater.
