Dive Pics - Updated

I just got back from my trip to Provo today and thought I would share some pics I took while diving.

Providenciales, nicknamed "Provo", is an island in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

I took all these pics with a Canon SD550 with a Canon WP-DC80 underwater housing.

This was the first time using the camera so I was/am learning. Here are a few, I'm still going through the rest and will post more later.

Here is a blurry one but I liked this fish, I did 10 dives and only saw one of these.

MAN ALIVE I just love the Carribbean for the gorgonian infested reefs. Awesome, just awesome.

Question, what was the water temperature like?

[cprowler]

My dive computer just takes an average and it was 79, on all the dives. I could feel cool and warm spots on some dives that was quite extreme, I would guess a five or six degree swing possibly more. Just about everyone would comment on that after the dive and the dive instructors said it was the warmer shallower water coming back out to the deeper cooler water with the falling tide. I had not experienced anything like that on my other warm water dives so it took me by surprise.

The first thing I thought of was my tank.
