We just spent two days at French Frigate Shoals, most of which I spent diving or sleeping. Our research is going very well, which keeps me pretty busy, but I still find time to snap a picture or two. Here are some shots of the cruise so far!

This reminds me of when I used to go out on fishing vessels as a scientific observer. I bet the research vessel has a much nicer feel to it, but no less busy.

The pictures you have shared over here are really nice and that picture of rainbow is so amazing and I have not seen it in real. It is just one chance to get picture of it and you have taken it very well.

I am glad to hear that the research is going pretty well. I have to say that you really did manage to get pretty good shots here. The second and third photograph is simply superb. Certainly, it brings a nostalgic feeling for me as I had experienced similar natural beauty whilst in a cruise. The view of the ocean in the dusk is certainly something to see. In fact, I would call it a jaw dropper.
