Hi
Several of us were out on the Banditos in the SJIs on 4/30-5/1. What a beautiful weekend!

Here were some of my snaps!

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Fantastic pics YellowEye! I love your candy shots!

I had so much fun diving in the San Juan's!

We are so lucky to have such amazing dive spots so close to us!

Also it was great to watch Stephen Martin & JPA in action with the drone! I can't wait to see the footage. That was my first time ever seeing a drone in real life. It was really neat!

Here are a few of my snapshots.

Great shots YE and SJ. I think that was better viz than I've had in a while in the SJIs. Also, nice drone photos. Almost crashed it into the Sampan on the moving landing!

Oh, I forgot to mention, the last time I used the drone was for a night shot and I forgot to adjust the settings while trying to get it into the air quickly. So, lotsa noise in the video with the ISO at 1600! I'll try out a noise filter on it to see if it's salvageable.

Here's my contribution from last weekend. Sorry, video takes a bit longer to put together. I salvaged some of the drone shots. Edited to add lumpsucker:

Bravo SM!!! Love the footage. I think I saw the candy striped shrimp's brain move

great stuff as always.

Thanks Scubie. I looked at your photos from last weekend and I realize I left out the lumpsucker. Will render again and update my post.

I think the candy stripe's brain is its least attractive feature!

All the photos are amazing and a stunning video! Glad we were able to avoid a water landing for that drone because the views were worth it!

Nice vid Stephen!
Thanks again for a great trip Jackie and Rick. We'll see you 5/29!

Fantastic video!! I love seeing Candy Stripes brains in action & eating Seacucumbers are so cool! It was a lot of fun watching you use your mad drone skills. You really captures the beautiful San Juan's! I hope we can do it again soon!
