U/W Pictures from our trip 15-22 June.

All these were taken with ISO 200 film, Reefmaster CL (clear case, about $90), only the internal flash.

All film was developed with Kodak "Sea" processing, which I conclude is only so-so compared to regular photofinishing. Color correction is great some of the time but poor on landscape shots where a single colorful fish is not the main subject. Some shots printed great while others really got the backscatter effect amplified. Next time we go digital!

This first group were ALL taken by Michelle on just one roll of film at Karpata, around 10 a.m.

Thanks Leif!
Great picts...sure makes me want to get wet again soon. Reminds me of the first time we did Angel City....we swam north from the mooring in about 60 feet of water 'till we reached Hilma. Sharon thought she had discovered a new wreck!
