Snorkelingin Hawaiii>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My son and I did a fair amount of snorkeling while in Hawaii:

We were armed with tools of the trade. My Submariner 16610, and his Invicta 8926 (training Rolex):

Here's some underwater shots taken with my Pentax Optio "point and shoot" that's water resistant to about 15 feet. Unfortunately, the screen isn't very legible underwater. So it's more "point and pray" when using it under water. That, and the fact that the fish don't really stop moving combine to create less than ideal photographing conditions. So many of these shots are a little blurry. Sorry.

Great shots! You were fortunate to have bigger, slower moving fish which makes for less blurry shots. :D

That shark would have made me pee my pants though....yikes!!! 8o

I think my son would love such an "Invicta" :gut:
