    something told me not to, i was faced with the opportunity 3 times, there were also groupers 40-70 lb around the wreck. a friend of ours is an expereinced tech diver, and was on board. he told me just dont spend more than 10 min total dive time, and youll be ok.


    I don't think any fish is worth your life, i still havent accomplished many things in life yet.


    I decided not to throw the dice.

    Last week I was out and we were escorted back to the ramp by Seatow after the boat did not turn over around noon time. On Friday, the boat stalled about 200 yards from the boat ramp and we just swam it back.


    this could be pure coincidence, although it seems very odd.


    hubert told me, last weekend they were out off key west on a friends boat,


    ran out of gas in the marquesas, then were escorted in by sea


    tow, and also hit a ground coming in. they had to jump in the muck and push the boat out about 500 yards.

    Don't feel left out with the Mahoganies, they discriminate with all divers the same. Ajax reef usually always has good viz. I know one particular spot out on Ajax that has all the mahagonies, I wonder if it is the same spot you dove on. You got to really work for your fish in that area.


    i think it might well be the same spot. it is a distinct rock and ledge.


    I shot the black and I think it was by being, at the right place at the right time.


    Fish are extremely spooky in that area, Im sure que le meten candela to that area:overkill:


    Even the Jellow Yacks were tuff^^

    Got out wednesday with Lungfin, and Mike.


    We had the day planned out to drop off of Matheson, and shoot south to some of our spots.


    The day started out bad, with troubles on one engine, so we decided to make the best of the day


    and head out nearby with one engine. We dove the ajax reef area nearby, top to bottom vis, spots


    ranged from 20-50ft.


    We Managed a black, hogs, manroves, triggers, the usual. Water was 76 degrees and outside


    was about 70. I was cold in a 3 mm shorty. I think a 3mm with a hood is a must.


    We made the best out of a bad day, saw some big blacks and other big fish that wanted nothing to


    do with us, including some big Mahogany snappers 5-6 lb range.

    thanks for the feedback.


    i agree the prices have dropped, electronics become obsolete quickly. i got the camera basically for free


    with the points. it was either the canon the or a sony.


    the housing is rather pricy.

    just ordered the canon sd1100 3x 8.0mp.


    i had to use up my amex memebership rewards card points, it comes with 2GB card,


    Should I upgrade to the 4GB? i am also looking at buying the underwater housing, should I stick with


    the canon WP-DC22, or is something like Ikelite a better choice?


    BTW, if the camera was a bad choice, its too late^^, although i have read some good reviews.


    Thanks,

    Interesting passasge, I remember it being a certain way the human brain perceives and understands


    words or images, or some sort of thought process.


    Maybe like the saying is the glass half empty or half full sort of thing?
