Bali Underwater

These photos were taken during a 6-day, 19-dive scuba safari around the island of Bali
with Aquamarine Diving.

This is my first attempt at underwater photography. As I suspected, it's not easy.
My equipment is just a Canon A620, in a Canon housing with flash diffuser.

To ID the fish, I used the book Marine Fishes of Tropical Australia and South-East Asia,
by Gerry Allen. For the nudibranchs, sea slugs, and flatworms, I consulted
http://www.nudipixel.net .

Awesome underwater shots! They are not easy. You've mangaged to retain amazing clarity and colour. voted.
