These were taken on an Olympus 410 and underwater housing. Not the greatest quality in the world but they will do until I can get an underwater housing (and bravery) for my 30D. We took a kayak/snorkel trip with Maui Eco Tours, highly recommended if anyone wants a great trip. C&C appreciated :)

That is some pretty good stuff there. You might get a little better color if you kick up the contast just a notch. I shoot underwater and that seems to help. If you are going to shoot agian underwater you may want to check into a color correcting filter (usually red in tint) it will make a world of difference...

Thank you all for the comments. Thanks for the advice on the color correcting filter daclozer, I will be sure to give it a try. Eventually, I want to take the 30D underwater with my 100 Macro and some powerful strobes........someday :)
