Underwater Images from our Puerto Galera Trip, June 03

We did seven days of diving at Puerto Galera (PG), Philippines, with Atlantis Resort, from June 20-26. The best sites were Verde Island, Shark Cave and Canyons, though most images here are from other sites (particularly the wrecks, Sinan Digan, Pink Wall, West Escarcio, and the sunken dry-dock). The only dives with strong currents were Washing Machine (in Verde) and once at the dry-dock. The dive-masters were Chris and Ethai for most dives.

I used my Olympus C5050 camera in the PT-015 housing. I had a EN wide angle lens, but did not use it -- it blocks the camera's built-in flash, which is essential for all close-up images (i.e. 60% of all images here). Need to get a strobe before I begin to use the WA lens.
