Thanks dcslaugh. Personally, I think my underwater photos have a lot of room for improvement. I have a SeaLife camera that came with the underwater casing. I don't have any accessories like proper lights on it. So I'm limited to sunny shallow water. (This location was great). But, basically I just take lots of shots, delete most of them, and hope for the best. LOL.
