Awesome picture. Great job. What type of camera equipment do you need to take pictures like this?

With the right light, a simple point and shoot can work well.....but for deeper and more technical shots, a proper underwater rig would be adviseable!

My pic above was taken with a basic Nikon. The AW100, 10meters waterproof.

I will agree with the difficult part, this is the best that I have while snorkeling in Hawaii. Feel bad after the above pics!
