I find it reprehensible and disgusting how perfectly in focus each picture is!!

Sick, sick, sick!!!!

Amazing photos. Tell us what photo equipment you use? Seriously though, if you say "I used those little disposable underwater cameras" I am going to cry.

hehe

thanks guys and gals!

I can post more, just have to go through them...we made some 300 underwater and even more on land, we have some really nice ones of the resort we stayed at, would highly reccomend it to anyone.

As for the camera, believe it or not, all shots were taken snorkeling with an Olympus Stylus 720 SW 7.1 megapix compact digital camera.

This camera is waterproof to 15 feet and worked great. I would go diving but Diana had ear troubles which prevented her from diving. I decided it was best to snorkel with her instead, these shots were taken then. Was very nice and we enjoyed it a lot!

For some reason the link is broken, seems to be the shortened version with the "..." in it. I did find this though: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...tylus720sw.asp

I'm impressed you could get such awesome shots. Well, I guess I'm not too surprised. My brother has a similar small digital camera that's waterproof up to 20 feet or something and his Hawaii shots blow mine out of the water (mine were all scanned from 35mm disposables.. they were OK, but they weren't like yours!!!)

Anyhow that's awesome. Those little waterproof cameras are pretty good!!
