Another dive-related image on the bing home page today (March 28th, 2013). Today is an underwater view of Lagoa Misteriosa (mysterious lagoon) in Jardim Brazil. If you are running IE10 or Chrome 26.0, there is a cool control in the picture that lets you scroll through a complete 360 degree view. BTW, I got this control to work with these two browsers on Windows 8. Firefox 19.0.2 on Windows 8 and IE 9 on Windows 7 did not work for me, but then again I did not try very hard either. Your mileage may vary. Same disclaimers as the last time I did this.
Disclaimers:
Yes, I work for Microsoft
No, I do not work in the bing division
No, I'm not trying to have you drink any particular search engine Kool-Aid
Yes, I know that Kool-Aid is a registered trademark of Kraft Foods, Inc
Yes, I know I used it without permission
No, I am NOT trying to drive up clicks to bing, it's just a cool picture if you're a diver.
I only bring this to your attention as (according to comScore), about 15.1% of you would have found this on your own.
Cheers,
John

I just looked and think I found it. So add one more click to bing stats ;-) You work for MSFT? I won't hold it against you as I am an apple fanboy
Thanks for the mention on it, the pic is amazing.

UPDATE: May 21, 2013
Another diving-related image on the bing home page. It's a video loop of a moon jellyfish.
FYI, I tested this IE10.0, Firefox 21.0, and Chrome 26.0 on a computer running Windows 8 (see, I'm trying to be fair to everyone).

I love jellies! Very cool to expose so many people to how beautiful they are.

And if you want the video:

FYI, it's Ogg Vorbis, so have the codec, or have an HTML5 compatible browser.
