I wanted a shot of the stern of the Giannis D, but there were loads of divers on the wreck. Waiting until the last moments of the dive as everyone headed for safety stops I got this shot in peace and quiet! Nikon D300, 10.5mm Fisheye, Magic Filter

This is actually a split shot, but more topside than underside so I put it in the Topside category. I moved into deeper water but didn't have an underside subject, so used my strobes to light the underside area, creating the turquoise colour.
