Under the Sea

This is a collection of corals & fishes from various snorkeling spots around the world. The ones from many years ago were taken with disposable underwater cameras and then various underwater cameras and now most are taken with a GoPro. Of course, lighting and water conditions play an important part of photo images as well. We have snorkeled some spots where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face and back to the same place with beautiful visibility on a different trip. So various quality in photos, but still special memories for us. From the warm waters of the Caribbean, South Pacific and the Pink Beach on Komodo Island to the COLD water of the Red Sea. Each provides an environment for very different types of corals and fishes. Some are labeled and others only where they were taken. As always many are just my best guess of what they are.

Of course, each of the snorkel sites have way more photos than I shared here, but to see those you would need to see each individual album for that site, and they aren't on the link above.

I don't know if this link will work for you, but it should (you'll have to scroll down to the ones you want to see) Google photos does it differently than my last program for displaying photo albums that easily let anyone that wanted to view all albums could and they want me to provide a link for each album that I want to share. (LOTS of them, so not as easy)

I may work on mammals next.
