Due to user error, my strobes weren't firing during my last dive. I managed to salvage some photos by reconfiguring my rig underwater and using my video lights instead, but it was obnoxious. The test to avoid this sort of issue is simple and easy. I should do it and you should too!

@briangweberphotography I once forgot to replace the battery in my camera for dive #2. Off course that's when I saw the biggest eagle ray I had ever seen. I never made that mistake again.

@briangweberphotography Definitely, but a few days later I did have some battery left when a Giant Manta Ray gracefully passed by. It was surprisingly fast. I could not keep up at all. #MantaRays #Bonaire
