Was talking to a Diving Instructor just last Sunday who was saying it was amazing being down there watching those “Pikes” in big shoals!
Must be someone on here that’s seen it?

Weird picture,it looks photoshopped. How come the top pair have a green tint but the lower ones look like they've been exposed to flash light? Was the camera upside down?

Yes I spent well over 100 hours swimming around in Stoney cove, you see some interesting behavour, from pike and big perch.

I have posted some of my pics on here before.

The angle of the flash (strobe in underwater terms) will be very different to terrestrial use.

Nearly all UK water has a high suspended particle level which produces back scatter (flash bounce back) on the picture. By altering the strobe angle you can cancel a lot of it out so most divers mount on easy to adjust arms.
