This photo was taken in 2007, Ambom, Indonesia. Between the dives, we had a rest on the sand beach, the surface is smooth, we can see not only shadow of the boat but also the water mark on the sand and the color of water becomes to green and blue.

My eldest daughter at Lawrencetown Beach, Nova Scotia. Nikonos V on aperture priority, 12mm Sea & Sea lens, Kodak 3200 B&W film. Scratches removed in PS. Just enough water to cover the lens.
