My dive buddy dropping in to meet me. I used my Canon A650IS in wide angle mode in ambient light. Sometimes it can be more interesting waiting for your dive buddy slightly below the surface.

When I saw a group of these, I thought I was going to be a pearl millionaire. But after closely examining it, the first touch was very soft. Not a pearl...but an algae ball. I took this at "Pescador Island" with a Canon A650IS.
