Scuba Diving and Snorkelling in the British Virgin Islands

All pictures taken with a Nikonos IV-A camera, Standard 35mm lens with a sea-n-sea 16mm wide angle converter. Most use the Sea-n-Sea YS-60 strobe light.

Only the shots at the Rhone were scuba diving, the rest were snorkelling. After the first day the hurricane "mitch" in the gulf was sending clouds, rain, waves and wind our way (400 miles away!!!!). This really churned up the water, as you can see in some of these.
