Maui Turtles...



So here are the first of the underwater shots from the trip. I think I have five or six posts worth of images, which surprises me. All of these images (and the HD videos!) were shot with the Canon sd1400is inside the Ikelite underwater housing. All in all a pretty effective, sub $500 way to capture some nice memories on your vacations.

Sooooo turtles, everybody's favorites! Click the link below for a couple more images and my first HD video. 


That lazy behemoth was the largest turtle any of us had ever seen and seemed totally uninterested in its surroundings. I guess when you hit 100+ you become hard to impress...I was down around 20' to capture this.


I wish I had more awesome turtle shots to share, but in all honesty we couldn't seem to run into them in any sort of decent water conditions. Lastly, here is my first video attempt. Consider it less of an artistic creation and more just sharing this awesome experience. It's fairly shaky because I was on the surface, but it's still fun and worth sharing. It was a great moment, he was definitely curious about me.



It's 1am, I don't have the patience to figure out how to center that video, sooooo...forgive me?

Next up to share? Dolphins? Rays? Trevally? Reef fish? I can't decide...
