nevets, I've added you to the usergroup so you should see the "UploadPic" option now.
Instructions on uploading can be found on the first post here:

They were all taken on a little Sony digital and not the Nikon SLR beastie which shows you can get half decent pics out of those small point and shoot cameras. Naturally you have to tweak the settings a bit depending on the light conditions.

I reckon you would never get back from a floating bar in a coracle, after a few beers you would just go around in circles.

Ok here are a few more dive pics, it was my first time with this camera so most are experimental. Had a few problems with over exposure, backscatter, and the built in flash was shite so I now know I need a strobe!
Sabang wrecks
Fimbriated moray
Yellowtail fusiliers
Ascent
Nudibranch (unknown)
More nudibranches - I tweaked the colour on this shot, they don't really come in this flavour!
Yet another nudi - there were loads of these things about
Close encounter of the cuttlefish kind
Adult lionfish
Señoritas Filipinas
More to follow ...

This is the way

Great piccies Buksi
Not only impressed by them but also the identification of the species.
You have an open invite to dive my ponds & do the same!
Probably wont get such crystal clear images tho
