Honeymoon Liveaboard 2013 - MV Orion - Dive #8
- South Ari Atoll, Maldives
An interesting dive where we got to see how life on a reef goes to "sleep" as the sun sets. We started the dive in twilight and ended in complete darkness. Vert interesting how the whole reef changes in 60 minutes. First time i've seen fish asleep! I also got some amazing photos. The fish seem to be "hypnotised for a short bit by my torch, giving me the chance to get the perfect photo. If you count the amount of "perfect photos" per dive, this dive is probably on top.
Good teamwork from me and Silje. She was my scout, finding interesting things, and I came in with my camera to get the photos :-)
I borrowed a longer arm from Fernando Clark and put my strobe further behind the camera and the results were very good. I think I will have to buy longer strobe arms for next time. And another strobe. And a wide lens. :-)
