I suggest you get lower in your shots, and closer. Looking down on an underwater critter tends to be a bit boring.

the silting concerns can be a factor here, but yes, seeing the full frame shots, lowering the camera and shooting 'blind' with the 8mm can reduce the angle when its not practical to get yourself down. Shooting upside down is another way to get on level, though getting the strobes to do what you want is more challenging.

The funny thing is that the camera housing was literally resting on the sane for the pen and egg images. It seems hard to tell with the use if the 8mm.

I really do appreciate the wisdom you both have shared with me.  I am really looking forward to getting back out to this location (Redondo Beach, Ca) in the near future.  Id love to try to image more Sea Hares as it appears to be the beginning of their mating season and eggs should be getting laid within the next 6-8 weeks, if I remember correctly.

I take photos, not particularly good photos, mostly abstract photos. Yeah abstract is what I would call them, you might call them blurry.
