Underwater Images : UST Pier photo shootout


Diving:
Our colleague Raymond organized a photo shoot-out  dive off the UST pier. I was expecting a murky water, shallow (max 5m) dive with little sea-life -- we (Kitty and I) even considered taking some plastic props down to make some funny photos). It was murky and shallow, but we saw quite a few interesting creatures in the hour or so we were down there: eels, sea-horses, several fish, several shrimp-goby pairs (couldn't get a good shot of a pair, though), nudibranch; and some other group even got a clownfish carrying eggs in their mouth. I think we may make some more dives in this area this summer. Here are some photos that came out ok. Most are with the Canon G7, except the filefish which was taken by Kitty with her Canon S80.
