Ann Marie:
Thanks! I haven't quite figured out how to take the green out with photoshop yet (important thing to know in So Cal too!).
I usually begin with the images dropdown menu, then select adjustments and choose auto levels. Most of the time that gives you a more natural image, but sometimes you need to play with the color balance. Some day I'll actually read the instructions. :D

Me too! Took a class once, but now I just grab one of my son's friends and say, "Here, help."

It is a Thornback Ray. They are relatively harmless, unless you step on one. They're usuall found between the ridges of sand near shore. I didn't clean up the backscatter, but made a few adjustments. Check out Gilligan's post about ambient light digital photography. http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=81341
Using the internal flash on the camera or a strobe placed too close to the lens will cause the backscatter.
wow!! thank you that is so much better, as i said i am slowly learning, thanks so much again!!!

Here is my version
that is awsome, you guys do a great job, now that is the way some of my pics have come out, i guess i will as ishie said keep plying with that strob and the position, thank you that also looks great

Do you have a picture of your strobe? If your strobe is on an arm - move it as far from the camera as it will go and then point it as shown in the following link:

If you're using the camera's flash - you don't have the option. The way to avoid backscatter is to dive warm,clear water.
