Very nice! I have a little underwater point-and-shoot Canon. I'm going to have to find some clear water and try this! Are you diving or snorkeling or are you just holding the camera under?

I'm using a standard point-and-shoot Olympus underwater digital camera. The key to shots like the ones I'm posting is to be very patient!

Nice shot. This turtke knows how to hide. Look slike me in the army when I had to use camouflage... :-))

you pretty much see them move, and just hope they don't scatter too far!!

I bet it wasn't easy to spot, was it? The shell is no different from the stones around it
