This is a page dedicated to underwater photographs that I've taken at places that I've been to.
I purchased a camera in December of 2005 for image analysis work for the farm robots project.
Ended up deciding to buy a camera that could be used for underwater photography, as well.
Note: I'm not a professional biologist, so some animals may be named incorrectly.
My collection of books on marine species is growing, so in time I will get better at identifying marine life.
I believe that this is the largest collection, in the top ten, of high quality images/photos of underwater life
for the Pacific Northwest of North America. My thumb nails are larger than most sites main images.
The average size of most of the images, after you click on a thumb nail, is 1024 by 768 pixels.
