Some of my favorite diving has been in shallow water, < 5 meters. Warm, no
air or N2 limit, and lots of interesting jelly animals. Bit hard to see
them, though. Anyone here know if there are useful contrast-enhancing
techniques? Does the combination of polarizers and wave plates used for
revealing strain in glass and plastic work on jelly animals?

Thanks-

DM

Just wear black gloves. Putting yer hand behind the jelly will provide
plenty of contrast for observation.
