Diving with the PAM25 (Pic heavy)

I was lucky to have taken a quick weekend live aboard trip to the Gulf of Thailand and here are some pics, including a couple of shots of the PAM 25, which performed superbly.

Clearly I'm not a pro and I only have a small point and shoot camera, but I love taking pics.

I usually dive with the Sub or the SD, but the PAM looked like it wanted to get wet this time.

Enjoy!!

That's either super clear shallow water on a sunny day, or your point and shoot is sucking in a lot of light. Swimming and shooting actually takes some work; fish are fast! Great job on those. Looking forward to doing that again.

Hi Eric. I took the pictures throughout the weekend, so they are different dive sites and different depths. For instance, the pics of the PAM were taken on a dive with a max depth of 14m whereas the frog fish pic was taken on a dive with a max depth of 22m. My deepest dive over the weekend was 27m, but in all reality it's easier to get clearer pics somewhere between 10 and 15m, and that's where I tend to find most of the creatures I like (nudis, clown fish, etc.)

Hola Paco! Gracias! Those pics were taken with a Nikon AW130. It can go up to 30m and you can do a manual white balance adjustment, which allows for almost true color.

Here are a few more shots.
