After reading kwsNI's story Learn to Scuba Dive on K5, I felt inspired to dig out some of my pictures while I was scuba diving in the Pacific off of Costa Rica last March. A guy we were with tried using a disposable underwater camera, but at 70-100 feet the pressure was to much for the shutter to open. At least it didn't implode! This was my first and sofar only attempt (but it won't be my last) at underwater photography. Scale is really hard to judge in these pictures (ie the eel in one was big enough to have taken my foot off as I was drifting down into his hole to take that picture)
