How far down was that?

And how'd you get so close to that shark?! Very carefully?

That was the wreck of the Duane off Key Largo in FL - about 100' depth.

The shark pic was taken in Roatan. That fella was closer than he looks - I was using a 16 mm lens, so he swam right over my head.

The trickiest shot was the 'Nemo' - those little guys just do not stay still (that shot was film, macro) and I had to sit there for about 10 minutes to get a decent shot. Underwater, you tend to throw away a lot more than you keep.

This lot are from a recent trip to Utila. I've not thrown out as many as I should've but some work. http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLan...fromshare&Ux=0
