I'll be uploading some of my best shots to this thread. I will not add watermarks or logos to these shots. Anyone is welcome to copy, save, share, use as desktop background, wallpaper, whatever as long as you don't try to take credit for my amateur work.

I shoot with a Canon Powersht S110 and Meikon housing. I shoot in Raw (.CR2) format and produce my own jpegs. I do not use lights or a red filter. It is a humble rig but it is not about what you have, it's about how you use it. I do covet the Olympus EM5 Mark 2 and may upgrade in the near future.

I want to stress ocean conservation and ecological stewardship. It may well be that photos will be the only way to see coral reefs in the future. Please enjoy! Please share your diving photos and stories!

I'll start with Komodo, Indonesia!

Not quite scuba, but here's an underwater shot from Roatan. Taken with a GoPro while snorkeling just a few weeks ago.View attachment 3924398
Nice. I'm going back to Roatan in a couple months. I did my DM in Utila several years ago and then spent some time in West End. A friend invited me to kick it on his boat when he berths in French Harbor and we're going to just rent our own tanks and take his dinghy along with a couple other friends. It is supposed to be the best place to shoot macro in the whole Caribbean.

Amateur? Amateur is a pic of my finger in the way or just black because "someone" left a lens cap on.

Your work is top notch. Thank you for sharing and permission for personal use.

I think I'll be compiling wallpaper and screen savers for my laptop.

I'll put my Philippines album up tomorrow. It's a bigger album and there are some good shots in it. I'm glad you enjoy it.

Wow... Im inspired now. To do what, idk, but definitely inspired.
It's really a great way to find out just how insignificant your life is in relation to the universe. But at the same time it all about you and your need for O2. It's a mental reset for me, reminding me life didn't start in the hospital, and my opinion of life, lol, doesn't matter.

Just a quick note regarding that shot of the clownfish in the fluorescent looking red anemone, I didn't doctor the color beyond what I actually witnessed. I have been known to over-expose, over-saturate and add extra IR in some of my aquatic shots, but that anemone was really as red as it looks in the image.
