Giant Cuttlefish Nikon F801, 16mm fisheye, Subal Housing, Single Ikelite 150nicad flash. Fuji sensia 100 asa. 60th @ F8 These are amazing creatures and I was lucky to find this one out from under a ledge. The advantage of the 16mm is that you can get really close and still get that blue water in the background. I took six or seven shots here some with a passing diver overhead in silhoutte but the divers lines were not clean and although you loose the sense of scale I preferred the "diver free" image. Goby on Sea Tulip Nikon F90x, 60mm macro, Subal Housing, Ikelite 200nicad flash with an MV flash as fill in. Fuji Velvia 50 asa. 125th @ F22 I had been checking all the Sea Tulip heads looking for the small cling fish that sometimes are found there. (Doubilet has a great shot of one in his Light in the Sea book) Anyway I never found the cling fish but I did find these small gobies on occasio…
