My roomate decided to try out an external strobe on his Sealife 3.3MP camera, it most certainly resulted in better coloring and a wider focused area. Here are a few pics that he and I took this morning at Vortex Springs.

Very cool SuPrBuGmAn! much more color and life in your pictures. Light does make a big difference. Interesting pattern on the back of the turtle, hawksbill? what ever it is, long claws in the back!
Looks like a Red-Eared Slider. That's FRESH water, Leesa!
Cool pics!

Thanks for the compliments, luckily for me, my roomate doesn't dive nearly as much as I do so the new strobe will come in handy for me
Here are a few more of the turtle, Dee is correct, its a Slider. Pics were taken at Vortex Springs in Ponce De Leone, FL. I was originally scheduled for a boat dive that day, where I could have lucked out and seen a Hawksbill, but it was cancelled. I've been lucky for the past 2 dive outtings. 3 weeks ago, before the surf built and we've been in range of all the tropical activity, I saw my first seaturtle(I really don't know what kind even though I could have grabbed it, I was so close - didn't have a camera at hand either - Doh!). The past two weeks I've been dry due to weather, I get back in the water(freshwater at that!) and I get my second turtle experience Here are some more pics.

No editting, other than a resizing. The external strobe improved the overall appearance quite a bit, I was happy to post these pics, considering the pics I've posted in the past
As far the foliage, I guess its freshwaters equivelant to seaweed, although I don't know if the terminology would apply I couldn't correct the statement if it were wrong, because I don't know what exactly the stuff is myself.

Hey, Suprbugman,
When I was a "youngin" growing up in central Georgia we called that critter a "Cooter".
