I can't imagine what it would be like to be where you were diving in that reef. I really need to learn to swim better than I can. Thanks for sharing.

Did you have a special flash attached to your camera? The colors come out great! A lot of my underwater shots are very blue much like my reef tank photography! Haha!

lol!...nope, no flash used....I just auto white-balanced and started snapping pics. The reason why the pics are so vibrant, was due to my camera...it does a surprisingly GREAT job on colours.....also, I did a wack of post-processing in Photoshop to get rid of all the blue "haze" associated with the underwater pics....you should see what the original pics look like! hahah

the one time I did use flash it was horrible...all you could see were the suspended particles highlighted like snow in the image.
