I like it!! It does great for very close up shots, but I like my film camera too...still!

They each have their own things they excel at.

Great that you're signed up for the Seattle Aquarium!! I hope to see more of you guys there too. Can't beat the price, that's for sure!

Hi guys! Just got back from Monterey Bay where I participated in a survey of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary with REEF. We just launched their brand new invertebrate monitoring program and it was VERY cool seeing a lot of the same inverts that we have, but also different ones! I'm getting...

Hey guys, thanks for the great comments! It's good to hear nice things about one of my favorite subjects. We had a GREAT time, even though it wound up being only three of the 7 who said they'd come! :( A humongous thanks to Brian at Tacoma Scuba for getting this set up and letting us use his classro...

OK, so it sounds like you guys want the PADI specialty class, which includes the classroom part (4-5 hours worth), two dives, and the specialty card. Price is normally $125 but Brian has graciously offered his classroom for use, so the price will drop to $100. Might be fun to have a BBQ or something...

That usually takes an additional half hour. So, it works best if everyone either does it as a specialty, or doesn't. I've taught at many dive s...

Hi guys! I never knew this place existed! Anyway, is it Fish ID you're wanting? Or Invertebrate ID? PADI specialty or not? Associated dives or just classroom? Each class takes a good 4 -5 hours of classroom work, and then if you'd like to do dives afterwards, we'd have to work that in too. Cost will...
