Ok so weather was looking to turn bad up the north so Diving was cancelled, I took it to go to Portroe with a few friends as a recce.

Cold 4degrees, 37.5m and a 55 min dive brrrrrrr, I kept the dive short with 4mins only deco and then added a couple of mins on top for the cold!

Beware anyone going of free flowing regs - I had a experience there Jan 2 years ago in the deeper quarry and another friend of mine also did aswell

Today there was 3 free flows that I am aware of - so make sure you have environmentally sealed regs.

Hi Tom.

Really like the pics, excellent quality.
What camera and strobe set did you use for these pics (1 or 2 strobes)
and what settings did you use on the camera, i.e white balance setting etc, was the camera in "Auto" or full manual mode?

Thanks

Matt

Hi Matt

2 Strobes - camera is D300 (Nikon)
Full manual - If I remember ISO 200, Shutter speed was around 100 Cant remember what aperture I can check the actual pics as its recorded in them in meta info if you need it - I generally try a number of different settings (Still learning) would love to be able to look at water and choose - but I cant!

I hope this helps, and thanks for the compliments on the pics

I also have to say - down deeper the water was also clearer - maybe because there was less divers there enabling me to get better pics

Best regards - and welcome aboard

Tom
