Where did you get the housing? I've got an SD630, going diving in Maui in August. NEED to take pics!

Stunning shots! Were these taken on one reef or a bunch of different reefs? What time of year did you go or would you recommend. Visibility looks pretty excellent. Other than large pelagics, any major dive challenges/dangers e.g., strong surge, surface swells etc. Thanks so much for taking the time to share photos and information. Hopefully, within the next couple of years I'll get there. It might be cool to see if there was interest in a URS Fiji dive trip since I don't have any local dive buddies.

diferent dives, diferent depths, diferent sites, etc...
i went at the end of july (thier winter), unless it rained the visability was excelent. most sites i dove were outer reefs , not realy effected by run off anyways.
i recomend full suit 3 mm.
(thier winter= early sunset, short days, cooler air, cooler water)
it was still great though.
like i said this next time we're trying x-mass(thier summer).

there is sites for all divers.
we ran into some fast currents on one dive.

visability and sun strength was good enough that i was able to use a disposable camera when snorkeling.
