This is a memorable shot. I had just finished my dive,
and I was doing a decompression stop with just a tad
bit of air left in my tank. I was looking down, and saw this
sea snake come out of the coral. I debated whether it would be
worth the effort to drop back down and take the photo or not. With
just a few breaths of air left, I dropped down quickly, took one shot
and then headed to the surface. My jaw dropped when I finally saw
the photo on my computer. All is was perfectly in focus and properly
lit. What a lucky shot.
