I finally got all the pictures (above water and underwater) selected,
corrected, uploaded and captioned, and a pass at tagging done.

Enjoy!

These pictures look like they were available light and that looks like a
flashlight. It is also there in the previous picture. Probably someone
pointing out something to the photog.

That is where a dive light was shining on the object as I took a picture of
it. It made the white balance(?) be out of whack for that part of the
picture.

Yes, that exactly it! This was our first trip with a new camera (and my wife
and I are also new to underwater photography).

We purchased a Olympus Refurbished FE-360 Digital Camera and the PT-044
housing as a combo via
<http://www.backscatter.com/HostedStore.LassoApp?-ResponseLassoApp=detail.lasso&ID=1d1de0ce5ff33e48cfb20ea4d3eedd72&s2op=cn&s2=Photo&s3op=cn&s3=Cameras>
for $179.99 which seemed like a good deal for an entry level model to play
with and provide some record of what we saw.

I did some color correction is photoshop via the actions described/available
from
<http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1042430>
or
<http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-190931.html> and then
picked the output (original, corrected1, or correct2) that I liked best for
upload.

[Default] Thus spake t...@sdd.hp.com (Tim McDonough):

I have a spotter attached to the YS20 on my Seas&Sea. The smallest,
dimmest light I could find in the mid 90s. It shows up on available
light pictures, but those don't happen.
