He's still swimming. Maybe you need to shoot him again.

Neat. Is that a scaled full-frame shot, or a crop? I usually only see
them hiding in holes in the coral.

Did you do any adjusting after you shot it? Underwater things end up a
little soft and muted, so you may want to adjust sharpness, contrast,
brightness and/or saturation sometimes.

Around here you see them swimming around fairly regularly. That is a
scaled full frame shot.

Yep, but that is posted as shot. I prefer not to play around with my
photos, I leave them as they are.

Stick your hand in a crack ...
And your hand don't come back ...

That's a moray!

Well, what you see ain't what you get, from what I've heard - the digital's
sensor chip doesn't pick up light underwater as well as your eyes do, so
things will end up being more "blue" or "green" than the eye would actually
see them. Using a flash can help overcome this in some cases, but at
snorkeling depths, a flash is annoying.

Lol, that is a good one I'll have to share with my diving buddies.
