DebWalsh got me a new camera
and its waterproof case as an anniversary present this year (thanks, sweetie!).
Thus armed, I spent a great many hours underwater. It worked like
a dream. What also worked like a dream was the “auto” correction in
the gimp’s “Levels” tool. I haven't done anything
else to punch up the color in these images. That's what it really looks
like down there.Late on the first afternoon, I decide there's time for one more
dip before dinner. I swim out towards the float. I never approach it
without wondering what lurks in the shadow below. Peering through the
steps as I reach for them, I am eye to eye with a large barracuda.There are a great many more photos like this in
St Thomas:
