And sadly, the San Francisco Maru wheelhouse has mostly collapsed, which made a great backdrop to the tanks. Before and after photos below. We would go back in a second, if you love wrecks this is nirvana. But they are changing.

The king post on the Fujikawa Maru is showing some real deterioration, but that may be because it is pretty heavily "loved". Note a diver's  spare tank attached to the top. Before and after photos:

I have a 230mm dome port that I was planning to use for this experiment. I'm thinking that I don't need a port extension for a 60mm lens. Can't think why it might be a pain to install.

We leave for Yap & Truk this Friday. If this works, I may use it for some of the smaller rooms in the wrecks, like the machine rooms.

Warm water, woohoo! Love California diving but… warm water is mighty nice!

D700 body has been sold, thanks!

I look forward to this thread every year, and am always humbled by the beautiful photos posted here. I'd like to put up two, one macro, taken in Anilao, PI, the first time I had ever heard of a hairy shrimp, much less had one pointed out to me… and since my new home is now California, a shot from Santa Barbara of two sealions… poor vis and nothing special, I just liked the composition!
