More pictures to share, as THIS IS A WAY COOL experience..........like visiting mars, only closer.
Scuba diving beats snorkling any day, even in the salt water. You're so much more relaxed and don't get beaten up by wind/waves/choking/sun/surf/choking, with Scuba you just breathe so easily.......it's WONDERFUL, even 30 minutes of swim time back into a cave! Who needs an airpocket over head.....
Camera gear? (I hate that saying "what kind of camera do you have") like it's the sole single device that captures the moment..... There is a person behind the lens that is 80% of what makes a photographer different than a picture taker, but I degress.
I shoot with a "pro-sumer" rig, not basic, but not a DSLR big dollar setup either.
Point and Shoot 8 meg pixel Olympus SP-350, Ikelite housing, NICE Ikelite DS-125 strobe, TTL exposure via corded hotshoe set on manual shutterspeed and f-stop, sweet ULCS arms, INON wet mount 165 degree fish eye lens you can see on the arm (big black round thingy). Around $2,000 USD invested in the rig. The strobe/lighting/shutterspeed/ASA settings are everything to a photographer.......now do it underwater while diving (not easy!).....I'm always learning but I do push my rig hard compared to most "picture takers".
More shots from the Cenotes Dos Ojos and Taj Mahal...........
Enjoy the underworld cenote photos. Yeah it gets freaky, but so does Autocross or 911 track days coming into turn one too hot/fast and threshold braking past the limit of no return and here comes the tire wall........
heh heh heh, yeah, both take big balls more than mere mortals.
