Beautiful pictures! Assuming it's the Andaman Sea? Makes me miss Thailand.

Yeah, I was Koh Lipe, Thailand which I'm not sure if it's still considered the Andaman Sea or the Malacca strait (?). Excellent dive sites and the guys at Castaway Divers are superb.

I used a Sealife micro HD+ with a 10x mag lens.

I love the nudis as they are slow and easier to get in focus. I forgot what camera you have, but if there is a macro option, use it for the nudis and get as close as you can focus on them. they don't bite like the trigger fish. I remember when I dove off the Similan Islands a few years back, a trigger fish was not happy with us being around his area.

6th picture down would look nicer is cropped a little to 'show off' the anemone a little more, IMO. But still a nice shot!

Keep them coming. UW photography needs plenty of practice.

I had never been really interested in UW photography until I discover the beauty of the nudis in 2013. What interested me in the Sealife micro HD+ was the great advantage of a 60m depth rating (although I will never go that deep) and being fully sealed and very compact. IMO the greatest disadvantage is that there are no focusing/zooming options. I had been using a Nikon AW110 but it kept on crapping out on me if I brought it anywhere near 25 m, and it needed a hard reset when I brought it back to shallower water. I also liked the Nikon's manual white balance adjustment but the Sealife's automatic WBA does a great job, which I did not expect.

I added the 10x lens to see if I could get better close ups of the nudis, but they still come out of focus. I do need to start working on my picture taking and editing skills, but the latter takes time that I don't really have.

Great photos. I've heard that triggers can get aggressive, just never seen it.

Great photos! It's a whole new world down there.

A totally different set of sea-life than my region of the world. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing the Remora on the Porcupine Puffer. I can't say I've ever seen that before.

Funny that you mention that, I thought it was very unique. The porcupine looked a bit annoyed but there was no way he was getting rid of the remora. I have some video of the interaction, I'll load it on photobucket sometime soon.

Indeed! I love the clown fish, there are everywhere here and always offer beautiful color combinations with the anemone in the background. They can also get in your face, which is amazing from such a tiny effectively defenseless creature. If you haven't had a chance to follow the photobucket link, here are some more clown pics.
