Orange Cup Coral underwater photo taken by Dr Samuel Lam in Bonaire.
Another dive in Bonaire where I was more worried about hurting my camera equipment than myself since Bonaire is all shore diving. When I was more of an avid (let’s say avid because that sounds better than fanatic) diver, I would go on so-called “live aboards” in which I could have my camera gear gently handed to me after I got into the water. I could also get back onto board only after a crew member took my camera gear up onto deck and have it be placed onto a dedicated camera platform. However, in Bonaire, I had to waddle backwards into a fomenting tide with my camera gear (and back in those days, my gear with housing and double articulated arms and strobes was very heavy and cumbersome) worried that my gear would crash precipitously against the multitudinous rocks. Well, fortunately, my camera, my photography, and I have survived all of these trips unscathed.
