Going back in 2017, so hope to post some new photos soon.
These were taken with the Ricoh WG-5 GPS, I haven't done much underwater photography and would welcome any suggestions for improving my shots.
I have never done any underwater photography but your photos look great to me.

Thanks, I'm hoping for many more when I return.

Fish seem to know when you are trying to take their picture and use that same instant to turn and give you a great view of their tail but not much else. I fount that if I helped protect the coral reef by chumming up a sea urchin with my dive knife I could attract plenty of fish that ignored me in favor of chowing down on the urchin bits. Just be careful to allow any cloudiness to dissipate with the current before you snap. Bits of left over lunch (hot dog works well) will attract larger subjects just get your hand out of the way before a Grouper, Eel or Baracuda decides your fingers look as tasty.
Thanks for your comment. I used to do some diving but not diving photography. Now I only do snorkeling but really enjoy the challenge of the photography. We are heading to the Philippines this month, so more underwater is in my future.

Thanks for the comment. Here are a couple from my most recent outing.
Beautiful. Love to follow them on the reefs of Hawaii. Bet you have better ones to shoot.
Great shot with great color management.
Thanks, these were shot with an Olympus TG-4, a very nice camera.

Not quite sure what your question is, the Olympus Tough TG-4 is an underwater camera.
Yeah, though it’s a pretty basic camera and did such a great job!
