You got some great pics there Sarah! Beautiful fish too!

Very nice pics, Sarah!

Love the Lupota! Drooly

Thanks for sharing! the Clap

Very nice fish and pictures Sarah, thanks for sharing.

I hope that my Simochromis will grow up as nice as yours. Good Job Good Job

Really nice shots, Sarah!

You should post some pics of your diving expeditions, as well!

And I know you've got some more rare Tangs just posing for pics!

Kim

Thanks everyone !

Kim, my pictures underwater stink ! I need to buy a nice camera so I can get decent shots. Right now ... for SCUBA I'm using a cheap 40 dollar piece of doo doo !!

I'm hoping for X-mass I get a nice one !


Here are some more pics of tangs though :)

Nigriventris


Brichardi "red dot"


P. brieni


T. duboisi




And here are a couple bad shots for kim....



This is me on 110 feet down on a German U-boat




This picture wasn't taken by me... but this shark came very close to Bill and I ! We were on the same wreck at the same time that this picture was taken. It's an 8 foot sand tiger shark :)

I think those are all great shots. You have a lot of very interesting fish!

I hope you get the camera you want for Xmas. 4larry

Wow Sarah, great pictures Good Job Good Job

I would probably soil my pants when this ugly big shark would come that close to me :blink: ohhh please ohh please ohhh please ohh please

I agree, Klaus, I would have to change my drawers! roll eyes

Love that Brichardi Red Dot! Drooly Drooly

Very cool pattern around the gill plate! the Clap the Clap

Gorgeous photographs -- I love how you can really see the delicate color patterns so clearly.

I once snorkeled 110 centimeters from shore. That's about as close to your comfort zone as I get!

I realy like the metallic look that shows up on the front end of that cyp micro, and the sheen on that callochromis is awesome as well. I am in the middle of a search for a new camera as well, the point and wait is driving me nutz, good camera, but the way it makes me miss a lot of fish shots is unacceptable, looking at a few choices and ones you may keep in mind as wel, in order of my preference : Nikon D200, D80, Canon rebel xti, rebel xt. its a shame the canons are plastic bodies, but most likely why they are the least expensive in the group.

Excellent photos! The one of you diving is very cool! A little eerie, but very cool!

mikmaze, I'm not sure what your schedule is like for purchasing a camera but Nikon has announced a D300 for sometime in 2008.

My apologies for the deviation from the original content of the post. :lol:

LOL... sand tigers are harmless guys ;) They eat dead or really close to dead small fish. Just don't touch one.... might get a bit pissy LOL. He came about 2 feet from Bill.... we chased the thing to get a good shot but it just looked like a big blur !

Snorkeling is actually a lot more dangerous in terms of sharks than SCUBA. I went snorkeling off Heron Island when I was living in Australia. When I saw a 6 foot great white that was scarry !

Thanks for all the compliments on my tangs. Bobby gets full credit for most of the shots in this thread though. I can't get good shots to save my life with my point and shoot. Maybe some day I'll get a good camera to take pictures of my tangs. But first is a good underwater camera !

Now how did I miss this one!

Awesome pics Sarah and BTW welcome to CH(yeah yeah Im slow)!That sandshark pic is wicked!

Nanananaa On the Floor Laughing lol... ty for the welcome Derek :)

Sara, you have the most amazing collection of fish.

Wow I've never left canada!! and I see pics of people on here swimmin hundreds of feet below sea level somwhere far far away...unless thats where u live anyways lol...

Im really behind Blush

Good Job awsome pics Cheers!!!

LOL... no I don't live under water Nanananaa I wish I did at times.

The 2 scuba shots are about 20-30 miles off shore in North Carolina.

GOing to the bahama's next week for a week long dive trip Gimme an A! 4larry ! I'll post some pictures when I get back in a different folder though ;)

wabawhat?? WEEK LONG?? Damme Faint
Well all the best and don't get eaten!! I wanna see more pics can hardly wait Wooo hoo!!

Rob

Great pics of some awsome fish my Lady. I am not much of a tang enthusiest, but you make me wonder. Andthe shark pic is wicked, thanx for sharing all of them.

What kinda Shark is that BTW?

Derek called it a "sand shark" and Sarah called
it a "sand tiger" shark.

I call it whatever he demands to be called! Giggly On the Floor Laughing

I would say instant death judging by the size and teeth!!! wabawhat??

It's a sand tiger shark. There were about 8 we saw on this wreck.

In the bahama's we'll be diving with reef sharks :)

Very cool the Clap the Clap

If u don't mind me asking how much does a trip like this cost?? even if u have ur own gear?? I really wanna do somthing like that soon, get liek the ultimate rush :P

Rob

To just go dive with sharks? Only about 100 bucks a person off north carolina

To go to the bahamas for a week all inclusive ( food and alcohol paid for ... and live on a boat ). About 1,000... flight not included to get there. If you don't have your gear... A LOT MORE ! ( I'm really not sure how much as i have my own gear... but I'd have to guess in 75 dollars range maybe more per day)

If you want to dive in a shark cage among great whites ... lets say off California. I think it's 150-200 a person.

Staying on dry land where the sharks all wear suits and charge interest... priceless! you maka me laugh

Cheers!!! Cheers to that Good Job
Dame Divin wit the great whites, now if thats not crazy I don't know what is, if you do that u know ur posting pics right?? lol n how much do underwater cameras go for these days?

Wow are we ever off topic LMAO On the Floor Laughing

Great lookig fish and pics.

Depends on the type of camera...

Cheapo one that I have 30-40 bucks. 35 mil camera

Decent under water camera... 300 bucks ( not including the couple hundred for the housing )

For the set-up I want... a grand at least including double strobes etc. I think it's going to run me about 1,200. Unless I find the one I want used :) Which I think I have.. it's just if the guy still has it when I get back.

Cool :)

and thanks

beautiful fish!!! colours are amazing........................ Hi!

HOLY ----...where...what...how didnt i see this until now twitchy

Very nice everything Sarah Good Job ...lets see more Now this should be good!
