First U/W photos with Canon G9

[Hotpuppy]

This weekend my dive club (Marlin Dive Team Scuba Club - Houston, TX) held a dive event in conjunction with the Texas Instructor Evals and our local dive shop Gigglin Marlin Divers. I took my Canon G9 with Canon case and decided to play around and shoot some photos.

I took 44 photos, not all of them are fantastic, but they turned out pretty good. Conditions were:
Max Depth 26 feet, fresh water, viz about 35 feet.

2 things...
1) Have a look and enjoy
2) I'm open to constructive feedback on how to make photos better. One Caveat: I consider these to be "raw" photos and so please no bracket, angle, cropping comments. I have not filtered, recolored, or cropped these images. I have also not chosen the best from the images. These are all 44 photos that I took on the dive.

Get close

Get a wide angle lens so you can get even closer

Get a strobe or two and get a wide angle lens so you can fit the subject in the frame at a range close enough to utilize a strobe effectively

I have a Sea & Sea YS-120 with a TTL adapter from Heinrich-Wiekamp.... I just didn't want to complicate my first photos under water. I wanted to have a good experience that yielded photos people could recognize.

The Wide angle is a great idea....
