Stephen, that is off the chart. Wow. My favorite part is....the Blue Ring Octo! Thanks Gdog. Keep your BRO dream alive! If it is any consolation gdog, I missed both encounters. I was the only diver to miss the BRO. I wasn’t as fun as when you missed it though, because I really enjoyed rubbing it in...

Eric,

I had one of these and that is a good price. The display is excellent and lots of cool features. For cold water, it was good, but for warm water it was too big for my wrist. I ended up moving to the perdix. Hope that helps.

Jealous of your pictures. Every one of my lumpsucker encounters involve uncooperative fish in murky and partially obscured locations. How do you get them to pose and face the camera so nicely? Are there special lumpsucker treats I'm not aware of? :-) Thanks. One word “patience”. Okay two words... “...

Nice lumpy Derek. Not sure what the small fish are???

Good times. Thanks SJ for the topside pics. I was excited about my new snoot. Thanks for the recommendation Derek! So I had to process a few pics right when I got home Enjoy! https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/Recent-Collection-2019-Q1/i-Z9cp3w2/0/0140fd9a/M/_MG_7566-M.jpg https://photos.smugmug...

Nice work ScubaJess I am finally done with all my photos. Took a total of 2,066 shots and got about 500 good to great shots. Far better percentage than any previous trip. I added shrimp, misc fish, topside, and artistic nudibranch. See you all tomorrow, peace. https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/Tompo...

Thanks Derek. That was a tough shot to get. But worth the effort of course

Awesome write-up on Fiji. I went many years ago and had a blast.

Did you partake in the Kava ceremony?

Thank you sir, such a great experience.

Thank you for the detailed trip report! I liked how you shared how you got the shots too - makes me feel like I’m there! Love all the pictures but especially the intricate texture of the frog fish and the many colors reflected in its eye. Wow! Thanks Val. Before we left there was so little info abo...

Love the above water shots SJ and VJW. Excellent and detailed report Jesse. Was nice to relive the experience. Love all your pics but the tassled scorpion fish is other worldly. Wish our stubbies were colored like the bobtail! Agreed SM. The top side shots are great. Can’t wait to see all the video...
