I snapped this with my cousin's Canon G10. Believe it or not, the deckhand in the white shirt is dry. The stern of the boat dropped when the swell passed it. The crest of the swell was between the boat and me. The deckhand was standing on a platform.

I have not named this photo yet. This was taken with only my Olympus Stylus 770 and PT-035 housing. The visibility that day (Thanksgiving) was around 60 feet. That is pretty good for Crescent Bay, Laguna Beach, CA

This is a sunburst shot that I have appropriately named "Heartburst". This image has not been manipulated in any way by any program. I shot it Thanksgiving morning in Laguna Beach, CA with only my Olympus Stylus 770 in a PT-035 housing.
