Nice photos! I really like the ornate ghost pipefish photos as they're such weird critters.
Our publisher has some macro HiDef video footage of pygmy seahorses.....you still photogs are lucky, just try keeping a huge HiDef videocam with humongous HID lights perfectly still on a pygmy seahorse in a strong current with surge all the while fully zoomed in and with a +2 diopter macro lens in place.
And do this while not making the viewer who is sitting perfectly still on the couch get seasick.

Glad you like it.
You would love Lembeh Straits in Manado Indonesia if you like critter/muck diving.

Till I can afford that Nikon D-200 with a Subal or Sea and Sea housing and dual strobes while on a college budget, I'll just have to settle for my little point and shoot.
But, I like diving tropical with photogs as I too like to stop and stare endlessly at the little macro critters. Sure, the big critter high voltage stuff is magnificent, but then so is a shy Oxymonacanthus longirostrus or or a hidden Periclimenes tenuipes!

Hi Sarah! Welcome to this forum situated in this tiny island that nobody knows where/heard of & no chewing gum is allowed
Depending on your expectations, you can get quite good pictures even from a simple point & shoot with manual functions & a strobe, sometimes even up to 8R. Good enough for a holiday-recreational diver. Many of the divers here do not use DSLR & are not professional photographers, we just enjoy diving & take photos along the dive.
You do not always need a DSLR; but since you work in a magazine then perhaps the standards/requirements are much higher.
