I recently did some diving in Curacao and thought that a few of the members here might be interested in some dive photos. Nothing like a Rolex underwater IMHO

Always good to see one used for purpose, thanks!

mitcht · 29 May 2012, 04:23 AM

Thanks for sharing! I've been to Curacao several times in the past 3 years but did snorkeling only, I'm not a diver. Which beaches/sites were you diving from? My personal favorite is Porto Marie.

We spent most of our time in Westpunt diving 'Alice in Wonderland' and the sites to the far northwest of the island

I use a Canon G10 with an Ikelite underwater housing. I don't use a strobe/flash. I use the ambient light from the sun, and then white-balance for a given depth. This technique works well to depths of ~ 20m. Anything deeper than that and a strobe is needed because there just isn't enough light. I hope to get a strobe for these deeper shots in the near future

Xenophon · 30 May 2012, 04:06 AM

Thanks Jason. Love the trunkfish, both juvenile & adult. One of Gods little jokes I always think
