I was just sorting through some more pictures from my February trip and thought I would post a few more. Don't know whether this helps or worsens my PBD but it will have to do until I get my next Bonaire "fix."

I just noticed that the fish in the first picture should have been identified as French Grunt.

Great pictures Richard. Thanks so much for sharing. Two months to go. Your pictures (and everyone else who has been kind enough to share)show that whatever is going (growing) on topside doesn't seem to have affected the spectacular underwater scenery. Thanks again, Skip

Great pictures! What type of camera where you using? I am a new diver and we will be in Bonaire in July. I completed my certification in Bonaire in Oct.

Amazing photos. How do you correct the pics to eliminate all of the particles in the water? In all of my dives, I never see every thing so pristine and clearly...... Just wondering.

Is that reef squid eating a fish?

I believe the squid was just spreading its tentacles in that shot; don't think it had a fish. Come to think of it, I have never seen a squid eat.

Here are some examples of shots using the underwater mode (no flash):

Most excellent shots Richard. A nice explanation of how to shoot with an internal. I live by those rules, the only minor difference is I have more of a tendency to use the flash, I have leaned no matter how many no flash shots I take, they almost always disappoint me. Get close, use the flash in manual is pretty much what I do.

Cecil, I take probably 90% of my pictures with flash forced and the camera in manual mode. That being said, most of my pictures are close range, many with the camera in the macro mode. Occasionally I want something that is further than my effective flash range so I use the underwater mode. If the range to my subject is greater than about three feet I don't want the flash to fire and create a lot of backscatter; the flash is pretty much ineffective at distances greater than three feet anyway.
