ghostfish CHECK! :) the coral garden is amazing so beautiful sceneries! lionfish, rays ... everything we can dream of - I could probably spend weeks on that house reef the sandy bottom did make a lot of particles in the water though making it really hard for a clean shot ... and cleaning up the pics dust by dust will take a long while... I also realized during the dive that setting the strobe to FULL instead of TTL was firing them out of sync with the camera - now I understand the issues I had on the previous dives...

switched back to 18-55 - much better results ! even with one strobe (my old strobe battery pack lock broke on tge pre dive check...) 2 playful octopi joined the fun beautiful stonefish and loads of sea life ! 200->50 15L

Great crew but further from the reef than I expected

The Orca team was awesome, Abdallah rocks at finding stonefish and making me a happy photographer, all the team is very helpful and nice. My only regret - which was absolutely not their fault was to think that the hotel was actually in soma bay where the sheraton is and where the house reef is... as a consequence every dive ends up costing 1h+ in driving than it should - time lost on family time... (or more dives) but the shop itself and the crew couldn't be better !
