nice, how did you get such close-up shots of the fishes? they're usually quite shy.

one comment though, they look like fish ID pictures.

the thing in #3 is a tubeworm

Thanks for the ID and comment!

The fishes were quite friendly....perhaps too used to pp feeding them. Even I had no food, the gathered around me. had to shoot blind for some, just point in the rough direction and hope to get some shot.

Should I have take a wider angle shot?

fish tends to get closer when you don't blow bubbles

nice shots!

Nice pictures. Can't tell if you don't say it is just from Snokelling.

Thanks! The light is better for snorkelling I guess. Esp in bright sunlight, which I was bless with those days!

Very nice pics and colours considering you took with onboard flash!

Snorkeling is more fun than diving in Redang.

Not too sure about that. Have seen pics from malaysian divers where wierd nudis, seahorses and blue ring octopus are spotted. Sounds like an interesting place to visit.

It's not the sea creatures, I have never seen so many babes in water in my life.

wow nice shots of underwater redang. Snorkelling is the easiest in fish photography as the fish will be more curious and check you.

Thanks very much!

I guess snorkelling will get you those reef fish. More exotic ones, must go deeper.
