Best of Mike #160

There is a trip that doesn't show up anywhere in my underwater photography files.... because I don't have any pixtures from that trip.

We took that trip after Christmas 2006.

It was Danielle's first dive trip and it was the trip during which I flooded my housing .... and ruined both my camera and lens.

They say, amongst underwater photographers, that flooding a housing isn't a case of "if", it's a case of "when".... and that was my when.

This pixture is from the trip we did in May 2007,  on the Explorer Adventures Liveaboard.... it was the 1st trip we made with the camera that replaced "old soggy".

I got a much better camera when I did the replacement....  but that means some trial and error while we get to know each other.

And, a lot of bad or mediocre pixtures.... the kind of pixtures that don't survive my editing process. 

So long story short, I don't have alot of pixtures (especially underwater pixtures) from this trip either.

But I do have some.... this of course is a Spotted Moray Eel, looking much fiercer than he really is.
