Under Water Digital Pictures - OAHU

 

What else do I like to do when I am not playing with the car? Scuba diving and underwater

digital photography with my new wife.

These pictures were taken with my Canon S300 Digital Camera and Canon WP-DC100 Underwater Case.

I have not altered the pictures in any way, and I did not use any kind of external flash or strobes.
