It means a lot to me when divers like the pictures, they know the difficulty and the luck involved. I wish i could answer the questions about the equipment, but honestly i know nothing about it, don't even know what an fstop(sp) is.
That moray eel is a buddy of mine, i've been visiting him for 4 years now. He lives in the same little grotto with his huge ab friend and his burgandy crabs. There were once 4 living together, but the others must have moved on. A couple of years ago when i carried live bait, i fed him that squid and as you can see, he LOVED it!.
He actually comes when i call him. I swim down to his grotto and don't see him, so i utter a sound and go up for another breath. The next time down, he is always there! (except twice). He has a distinctive bend in his bottom jaw so i know it's him. I have a series of pictures of his face that i have taken over time. He is a delight!
Maxbottomtime, those are some nice wreck pictures! I only know of two wrecks that are accessable while freediving. One of them is at Nic. Some pics of that wreck will appear on the 'shipwreck page' very soon. I got a pic of a monkeyface eel last time i was there, i was thrilled!
Glad you liked the pictures, there will be more on the site as time goes by.
Sincerely, Brad
