I have Firefox and it worked so-so, (loaded the show a few times first tho') but FF crashed only when I closed the tab. Superb pics! Are you a professional photographer or are you just like me, gifted? lmao

lol - a professional photographer - I wish. Then I could quit my day job and get paid for traveling to exotic destinations i.e. Tahiti. I'm just a hobbyist and the beauty of Tahiti makes it hard to take bad photos so I give all the credit to Mother Nature. But thanks for the compliments.

LOL your pics were superb. I've toyed with the idea of buying an underwater camera or a housing for my camera but I can't convince myself that pictures of fish are worth it.

That's because you haven't yet seen the fish in FP! The first time we went, we took disposable underwater cameras. They worked fine on sunny days at relatively shallow depths. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, I'd recommend 1 or 2 of those.

I love following the fish around and photographing them. I love it so much that I wasn't paying attention the first time I did it and got stung by an anemone.
It just brings a whole new dimension to it. (Not the sting, although that did add to the experience).

It did hurt a lot at first. I wasn't sure what happened to me. I had little welts all over that lasted for months.
It was by the Relais Mahana, where we were not staying. The person there told me it was an anemone and that I wouldn't die.
She offered some kind of medicinal creme for me, but I declined as I had some Melaleuca (sp?) cream back at the place we were renting. Never prepared. That's me.
Anyway, a native on the beach saw the welts and went and got some lime juice and squirted it on my knee.
They also told me I wasn't going to die. Needless to say, I watch out for anemones now.
I love following the fish around, though.

[quote=holte]I too have Firefox and quit trying to load it. [/quote]
I'm glad you wrote that. I kept trying to view it and was having problems also. I have Firefox too, so maybe that's why? :0(
