A good looking set! I like #2. That is one I've not seen before, and it is pretty.

Incredible shots! Tell me, what is your underwater setup for your g9? I have a g12 with the ikelite housing and ds51 strobe. But your shots blow me away!

Great images.

There is possible confusion over decapods. As I understand it, shrimps are decapods but decapods are a diverse group including lobsters and many other types.

Thanks for commenting, appreciated.

@Anthony: those worms are the easiest to shoot, they can't run away, can't swim away. So it let me do more photoy stuff to get the shot. And thus results in a better shot

@juscuz: I just use a G9 with the Canon underwater housing for it. I don't have an external strobe (yet, want to get one for the next diving vacation). I just go as close as i dare to go, and take a shot with the onboard flash. I have my camera set in macro mode the whole dive. It has good enough range to shoot all things. I do shoot in raw and do adjust white balance and sharpness is post.

@Harold: Jup, and you're right. I meant it's not the same infra order as 'real' shrimps.

I do have more pictures of the dives on my website.
