Southern California Marine Life

I finally got around to organizing my I.D. photos into folders. It’s a continuing work in progress, if I can ever get in the water again.

Those shots are gorgeous. Do you enhance those shots, the colours really glow.

Most shots have a bit of Photoshopping, but when the light hits the reef it really comes alive. It's amazing how much color there is underwater here.

Well, actually I was thinking how light fades as one goes deeper. Those colors are awfully bright and clear. So how deep are you for those reef critters?

Some are just a few feet deep, others are as deep as 190 feet. Most of the reefs I usually dive on are at 60-80 feet. Most of the shipwrecks are deeper.

Phil, very nice! It reminds me of my diving days in Hawaii and the area around Okinawa. Unfortunately we took shells back then instead of taking pictures, including now rare endemic species. I should probably donate them to a university or museum.
