Nice pictures! What kind of camera/housing do you use?

I don't think I've ever seen coral colonies like that... I have got to go there!

i was using an Olympus tough waterproof camera. does a decent job. though it did leak, leaving me with no underwater camera for half my trip. they did replace it under warranty later.

wait till i get pics up of the ocean snorkelling... that will show you what a real sps reef looks like.

Weren't you tempted to acclimate some natives?

Can't wait to see pics of the real sps in the open ocean, get them up!

snorkel trip we took, 15-20 min boat ride from resort.
they drop you off in the ocean and guide you on a path following the current, the boat follows you

where's Waldo? and by Waldo i mean the sea turtle!

i was too slow to snap a pic of the eagle ray that glided by!
