Olympus TG5 Snorkelling in Hawaii
10

Recently returned from a trip to Hawaii (Kauai island) and was able to snorkel at several locations including Poipu beach and Anini beach.  The water conditions for clear on a few days allowing photography; in murky conditions it is impossible to capture photos.  The tropical fish colours there are amazing compared to Canada.  The TG5 is such as small and light rig that photo taking is convenient.

Wonderful shots Dale.  I am headed to Maui and Kauai and Oahu in Sept and looking at good cameras for snorkeling.  you turned out some fabulous shots with the tg5...I looked at the tg6 also..and had settled on the Canon G7x III with housing...but your pics are making me rethink it.  Did you  have to use flash or lights at all?  And what mode did you shoot in, and did you shoot RAW or just jpg..thank you..tim
