I love this photo and the other dolphin photos too. I love dolphins; they always look as if they are smiling, at least the bottlenose dolphin. I enjoyed your underwater photography! I love the water and snorkeling and love photography so much, too, so I can't think of anything that would be more fun, exciting, and relaxful than shooting underwater! I say I am going to learn to scuba dive this time while living in Florida. I lived here before for about 10 years and while I was an avid snorkeler, I never did try scuba diving. If I learn, then maybe I will have the chance to try my hand at photographing all that underwater beauty! #2764782

Carol, Mahalo for your lovely compliments and comments. Just to let you know, all my underwater photography is taken while snorkeling. NO scuba diving required. For this dolphin shot I dove down to about the 8-10 ft level and was swimming along and the dolphins chose to come swim by me. Underwater photography while snorkeling is more of a challenge than while scuba diving - just to let you know. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. #2767061
