lots of resorts at varying price points, so you can't go wrong I stayed at a hostel, but was given a pretty pimped-out house with 3 beds, and a full kitchen - my friend is close with the the owner and had done some consulting work for her so we got to stay for FREE! more money to put into diving!


about the pics..thanks for the comments!!

I used an ultra-wide Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 for most of the shots, and gave my best shot at using my Nikkor 105mm f2.8 macro . It's amazing how deficient that lens is underwater, but how amazing it is on land! Virtually all of the underwater shots I took with it were not up to snuff....

for my next trip i'm going with a lower focal length macro...most likely the 60mm f2.8 AFS

and of course my strobe conked out halfway through my dives....grrr.....im going to upgrade the battery for the next trip!
