"Camoflauged anemone fish,"Amphiprion perideraion." I spent at least 5 minutes maintaining neutral buoyancy waiting for this fish to appear for a picture. The Heteractis magnifica anemone was a great safe camoflauge. Used Canon A650IS & no flash.

There are so many different colorful corals, that I would have to name this, The Coral Garden. The juvenile Barraccuda are friendly visitors. Canon A650IS used in Bohol Sea during my first week of underwater photography.

My dive buddy dropping in to meet me. I used my Canon A650IS in wide angle mode in ambient light. Sometimes it can be more interesting waiting for your dive buddy slightly below the surface.
