First Dives in Puget Sound with DSLR!

Well, I finally took my DSLR (for the first time!) into the cold (50-55 degrees), dark waters of Puget Sound a few days ago.  It was a truly humbling experience. Whereas I feel pretty confident with a camera in warm water, I felt like I was all thumbs inside of my dry gloves - almost no control of camera knobs, etc.  The two dives we did were my first real dives in my drysuit in over a year, so I was struggling with getting "reaquainted" with drysuit buoyancy control as well as handling the camera, and I felt awkward to say the least!  On top of that, visibility was terrible - less than 2 feet on the first dive and about 8 feet on the second.  Not surprisingly, the results were less than thrilling, but I did get a few worth keeping, like the Coonstriped Shrimp above.  If you want to see the others, they're HERE (the half dozen photos after the wolf eel shots are the ones from these dives).
