I was a last minute addition on Dave
Mackiewicz's boat the Caramea, and the itinerary was looking like a Monterey
side dive. Turned out the ocean cooperated with a smooth ride down to
the outer pinnnacles in Carmerl for dive one. A mild surface current
and moderate surge all the way to the bottom made my choice of 'manual
focus only' for macro look like a really bad decision. My new housing
appears to be incompatible with the gear which allows switching from
manual and auto focus. I was forced to choose which and I chose manual.
This requires manually focusing on a subject of a given size, filling
the frame with it, and then moving the camera back and forth until the
object comes into focus. Once again, very difficult with substantial
water movement. Still, I got a few nice shots. Enjoy!
