My lovely wife (Oregondiver) and my extended family bought me a Canon G12 and underwater housing for my birthday and, in preparation for our upcoming trips to Curacao in October and Bonaire in February, I decided to take it up to the Sound for a few practice dives... I'm now hooked on underwater photography!

Say goodbye to your savings!

Nice job on your first shots.
A couple things that will shorten your learning curve are.
1. Try not to shoot down on your subject. Eye level or shooting up at your subject is usually better.
2. The G12 does great macro. Use it. When you think that you're close enough, you're not.
3. Get a strobe ASAP. The G12 is practically worthless when using the internal flash because of the port on the housing.

Have fun!

Thanks... I'll let my wife (oregondiver) know that, upon your advice, I now need a strobe

Uh, she may be contacting you separately, so sorry for that in advance
