Those of you who have spent a lot of time at this web site know about my fascination with
long-nosed hawkfish. That fascination kept me going during the dive briefing that
explained that we were going to hand-over-hand down a rope until we got to a shoal whose
top was at 85 feet on our third dive of the day, but that we'd probably see a fair number
of long-nosed hawkfish. My brain said cool it, but the thought of hawkfish drove me on.
The shoal was lovely, a lush island in the blue, and the hawkfish were there in profusion.
I was in heaven -- and probably a little narced. Nikon F4, 200mm Nikkor f/4 Macro lens, Aquatica Housing, 2 Ikelite AI/n strobes, f/22, Kodak Royal Gold 100. |
