Wow! There are some really impressive photos at this site. I've been a published pro above and below water for over 20 years but I'm relatively new to digital.

Here's a few of mine from the Cayman Islands.

I used a Nikon D70 with various lenses and stobes both above and below water.

I have hundreds more posted on my website and I offer a photo tips topic for underwater photography: www.caymanactivityguide.com/forums

Cayguide, are you taking such photos for a living or for fun?

Thank you everyone for your very kind comments.

tim11 - I believe I answered your question at the beginning of my first post. Right now, I'm assembling images for an upcoming book - The Cayman Islands, Above and Below.

Get a drysuit. You won't even feel the mildly cold water (high 40s, low 50s) that you have in California. I'm not into UW photography, but I do dive in Massachusetts all winter long, down to 180ft deep with water temperatures in the mid 30s and air temperatures below freezing. With the right gear, the cold water is only an issue for your lips and only until they go numb. :)
