What do you think?????
I was in the keys this weekend and tried out my new underwater camera housing for my digital point and shoot. Here are my first attempts at underwater photography....please tell me what you think. Any tips, tricks, and pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Its a Canon SD1000 with underwater housing, I don't think they turned out that bad. It's a great camera that has a lot of nice features, it's a great all around point and shoot.
Those are real nice pictures PJ. Looking forward to seeing many more from you. Keep 'em coming.

They look great! I like the last close up of a coral. I dont remember seeing one like that. Really good colors! I take it you are using a light-is it a video light or flash? Keep em coming.

Steve: I did not use a light, I added the light by using the brightness/contrast mode in photoshop. Using a flash didn't work out so well, I found it easier to just shoot with the flash off and then photoshop it in

Yes, the flash from the camera will make silt light up, and look like snow. You have to use arms to have the light away from the lens. 2 lights work good. I use Fantasea video lights on arms. Each one has 44 LEDs. Works for video or stills. I just turn off flash.
