Bjorn,

Thanks.  I use two Ikelite SS-200s.  I used diffusers on almost every
wide-angle dive on this trip.  I hadn't used the diffusers that much
before.  I think this helped.

I starting having troubles with one  strobe about 3/4 through the trip.
It gave out completely near the end - both have been shipped back to
the US, along with all my synch cords.  As a result, there were some
dives with only had one working strobe.  There are a few shots where
this shows clearly - the majid (decorator) crab is one.
