Fantastic! You're going to love shooting wide angle, and I see that you're off to a great start already. I especially liked this shot:

Hah ... great minds think alike ... I just picked up a WAL from Jack for my FIX housing ... can't wait to get it in the water.

Those are some neat shots. I'm hoping that a new lens will provide some fresh angles for some familiar subjects too ...

No better way to spend those hard earned $$$. You got some great shots. I bet it's going to be a lot of fun.

Here are a few more pics with the WAL. Some of them are pretty dark, as my batteries started to fade midway through dive #1.
These pics were taken at Three Tree on Thursday evening.

That's such a beautiful squid and you nailed the focus and exposure.
