I was diving anywhere from 2 to 75 feet down, wonderful place after 11 dives I felt I had only touched the surface of the area. I had never shot underwater till this and boy does it present a whole lot of new problems. The worst was using a G9 not only because it's a Canon :evil2: the shutter delay is awful with the fast moving fish and my poor neutral buoyancy control.

Very cool. I've never been diving but it certainly looks like a lot of fun and these are some cool images. Nice to hear that you got to use a real camera although it is a shame it was of the point and shoot variety. ;) :evil2::evil2:

Nice shots! I haven't been for a dive in a few years but these make me want to go again! I like the wall shot and the featherduster shot best. Especially the duster!

So you went fishing??? Goodness gracious, that "Nemo" would fill the cavity of my wisdom tooth. Great stuff, though, Greg, you can come up for air now ....

Very cool series. Like Iguanasan I've never tried diving as well, but from these photos it looks like a fun underwater activity. Despite the struggles you've encountered while capturing these images, the result is still good. Love the sharpness in the 4th photo, and you've captured some of the nicest underwater creatures. Thanks for sharing!

You lie! There's no 'Nemo' in there! :) But there IS some cool shots! Where was this? It looks like a quality coral reef.

This was all shot at Maria la Gorda (http://www.villamarialagorda.com/en/dive-sites.html) I managed 11 dives but only took the camera in for 6 since I am new to scuba.

Very cool spot vertical wall that drops way down below you. Best was the 'aquarium' for fish, it deserves the title with the abundance of sea life. As a new diver I was a little apprehensive about a few places I went, but my dive master kept me in the safe zone.

Well it looks as good as anything I've seen on the Great Barrier Reef
