thanks for all the kind words about the pics.
Kirky, - see the camera details at the top. I had a "marine pack" good to 30m that is made esp. for the camers. Cost me an extra 200 squid but that was about 3 years ago. Cheaper now I think.

I had it on auto everything/ macro function for the leaf fish. The camera is very limited in manual adjustment (the only bad thing about it IMO) and you do have to take a few pics of the same thing to get a decent shot. I took 10 or so of the lionfish and ended up with 2 good ones. The others were out of focus because the vis was not so hot.
Thanks Kyrre for the advice on resizing. I'll make a note of that! My editing program is pretty basic. I brought the dpi down to about 60 for some of them, and then shrunk the pics some more till they were 30kbs. Probably a long way to do it, but I got there in the end
Bren - nice pic of you on the same wreck. I notice you are not "Doing it right!" Hee hee!
I went inside the wheelhouse but didn't delve in any further as my buddy (my husband) only had around 25 dives at the time so would have been bad to get him to follow me/ leave him outside! And no, did not see the resident turtle but the dozen or so batfish on the reef followed us all the way round as we slowly surfaced while drifting round the reef. They were wonderful to watch!
