Thanks Apon!
Update on the weather; 3 metre swells and 25-30knot winds this week, so no diving for a while On the plus side, the coral spawn is coming up soon, (30th or 1st) so fingers crossed that i can make it out for that! Diving on the coral spawn night is one of the things on my 'to do before i die' list. |

Nuts, boat fell through for the coral spawn trip. It's gonna be tough to organise anything now at such short notice.

Your pics make me speechless, beauties....
What kind of jobs can you get with a marine biology degree?

I appreciate you sending me that pic I loved. I had it blown up to a 16X20 small poster size. It was pritned on glossy photo paper, so it is a 16X20 beautiful detailed photo. I just trying to figure out what kind of frame I want to put it in. Thanks again guys.

Dyepes, i'm glad you enjoyed the photo!
Let me know if you're after any others and i'll see what i can do. Coral spawn has come and gone for another year, but there is the prospect of another visit out to Wheeler Reef on the 13th. I haven't got my camera yet, but i'm hoping that i can get my hands on one just for the day so i can bring home some photos for you guys! I'll let you know how it all turns out. (My recent luck with diving has been rather crap though) KeeperOfFish, jobs in marine bio are kinda like hens teeth. You have to be very, very good, and rather lucky to land a good one. But they are out there, just don't expect a lot of money to be involved. We marine biologists are in it for the lifestyle and the love of the ocean. Good Luck! |

edr42,
Nice Pics! I miss the the great barrier reef already.... Just got back from Austrlia 2 weeks ago...it was indeed a magical exprience. I can't wait to go back there again. Too bad I did not have a digital underwater camera..was only using those disposable ones. I was at the Knuckle reef....beautiful place to Scuba or just just to snorkel. Corals and Fish were amazing! Thanks for sharing awesome pics! Regards, J

Ok, there's good news and bad news.
The good news is that i should have my hands on a canon powershot G9 & housing very soon, and there are pics and movies waiting to be posted. I am investigating the Inon range of strobes too, anyone have any experience with them? The bad news is that my last 3 dive trips were cancelled with strong wind warnings (grrr!), so i never got out to the reef before coming back to sydney. Also, my computer decided to eat its own hard disk a week ago, resulting in much anger and panic. Nevertheless, i managed to salvage almost all my data (and have finally resolved to get an external hard disk for my 25 gigabytes of photos!). It does however mean that i've been AWOL for a while, and will be for a bit longer, so if there are any unanswered PMs, that'll be why. I know i'm resurrecting an old thread, but there will be new additions as soon as the apple guys can fit the new hard disk. Stay tuned! (P.S. a big thank you to everyone who helped out towards the new camera, your kindness will be re-payed with many more photos!) |

Those were some great pictures! Thanks How were you able to keep so still? Because I know that it is very hard to stay still and take a picture in the water, not to mention if there are waves crashing. Definetly should submit some of these photos to national geographic or any other coral identifying books. How many MP was that canon camera that you took pictures with?

Thanks for the comments guys!
All of those photos were from my little 4MP Canon IXUS 400. People with far superior cameras and set ups are always quite perplexed as to how my little beaten up canon always gets better shots. The trick to getting still photos is in being very comfortable in the water, being 80 feet below the surface can also help with the waves though! Once you are at home in the water, then you can really focus on the shot, not what the waves are doing, or having to constantly adjust your buoyancy. Sydney's getting a bit of a pounding from messy 10 foot + swells at the moment, so it may be a few days before i can compare the old IXUS 400 to my new Powershot G9. |

Is it lawful to collect frags off the bottom? Probably not but man that would be an amazing reef tank, collected only from indigenous species, How easy are water changes
