Had this posted up for a few days but just realized I forgot to move it out into the correct forum for everyone to see.

Great Shots! What kind of camera are you using?

Here's a couple from me. Taken with a crappy, disposable underwater camera, at
the Mayan Riviera.

Oh, I have to play in this category!

....and I'm reminded that I'm now less than 1 year from my trip to the Galapagos... More fun, I need to start shopping for some wet photo equipment.

Lemon Shark off Bora Bora. When you light them up, they really are kind of yellow. This one was over 10 feet long and potentially nasty. One of the few times when I've felt a bit uncomfortable... See the little pilot fish in the 2nd photo?



Manta Ray. Hard to get a good shot because they love the plankton rich (murky) water.


A Lobster somewhere in the Caribbean.


Pretty...



Impossible to choose, but I'll call this one my official entry. I just like this shot for no particular reason.
