about 60-150 miles offshore for this trip. But you can usually find some decend viz 20-30 miles at some of the rigs.....depending on time of year and weather. --------------------------- Nikon d70s, 18-70mm, 11-16mm, Aquatica Housing,SS 200 and INON Z-240 strobes. |

It's a Decorator Crab. They pile anything that will grow (sponges, grass, etc) on their back for camoflage. If you look close you can see an eye and some legs poking out. --------------------------- Nikon d70s, 18-70mm, 11-16mm, Aquatica Housing,SS 200 and INON Z-240 strobes. |

That's the MV Spree isn't it? Like a couple of others here, I once thought the entire gulf was muddy brown like you see at Galveston or Freeport. But then I started diving and learned that blue water is just a few mile out. I've seen crystal clear blue water well within sight of land and enjoyed hundreds of dives out there. btw, nice shots...but #5 is a little strange. |

Those are really nice. Just a random related question, do you have to wait long to compose these pictures or are these fish pretty still? --------------------------- 50d gripped | Rebel XS gripped Tamron 17-50 f2.8 | Canon 70-200 F2.8L IS | 580EXII Bless Her Heart ORG |
