[karnivor]

Yet more cracking shots. Some of those corals look a bit brown though. Did you test for Phosphates?

One day, it will be my turn, but not until ive sussed this frag smuggling business.

[mrfishy]

got a plan for you tony
go over to jasons late at night, pull your speedos on and lie in the sps tank with your D10 just the same as red sea

[dave14]

Some cracking pics there Drew, what camera are you using?

[tiberboy]

great pics mate. would love to do a dive like this and swim with these fish that we are so used to seeing in our tanks to see them in there natural surroundings must be exhilarating.

[mrfishy]

hi dave
for most of the shallow pics i was using a canon D10 for the deeper ones i used a canon ixus in a waterproof housing using a canon D10.
none of these photos have been photo shopped they are straight off the card.

hi tiberboy
it is amazing to see the fish and corals in their natural environment. it took a while to get used to be completely surrounded by huge shoals of fish with larger fish prowling below you !!!!!

Yeah as above,stunning pictures m8,very clear shots .

[jason@jasonsaquatics]

Good chatting on the Phone the other day Drew and glad you had a great time m8 .Pictures are stunning ,if you have more please add them as you know we are all suckers for some good AAA grede reef porn
I'm off to a Different island this year ,have narrowed it down to 3 island now so will post up when i have made me mind up .

Luke are you going to Kuramathi,if so your in for a treat m8 ,,,,remember plenty of pics .
I think no matter what camera you have its always better to have a spare battery and a few cards as spare ,this way you can click away to the hearts content and sort the not so good from the good at own leisure .

Have a good one Luke and remember to pm me day before you want the unit and corals sent up .

the second piccy is stunning the way its caught the surface,

[Blacktip]

Jason, have you thought about Hakura Hura down south? Dont know how that fits in budget wise but nice island and the diving is great, and I've a few places.

I'm going to Marsa Alam in Egypt in March. Diving is meant to be great - and the Red Sea is hard to beat for colour. Andat Marsa has the big stuff too. Looking forward to Oceanic White tips and dolphin. Always wanted to dive with dolphin.
