Diving Jan 15-19, 2018

This was my first dive trip with a new camera and wideangle lens setup, so I was still getting used to the controls even though I had practiced on land for a couple of weeks. Following a stretch of rough seas, the initial day of diving was on the South side. As surf calmed down, the dives moved west, but it was still overcast and gray for most of the week. In fact, it was warmer in the water than it was on the dive boat!
