The Nautilus Explorer in the ice flow near Le Conte glacier

I loved diving Alaska. I was aboard the Nautilus Explorer from June 24 to July 6, and we covered a lot of ground, starting in Sitka and ending in the Queen Charlotte Islands and Ketchikan. It was my first cold-water trip, and I’m totally hooked. I guess that’s sort of like climbing Kilimanjaro for my first real camping trip. :) (some photos @ flickr)

   Nice shot, what lens did you use for that? The EXIF didn’t show up in Photoshop. Do I need a fisheye to get good splits?

   Hi Eric,

   Love your pics. Any tips on shooting splits shots, above and below water. I always get water spots on my images.
