Cool Pics! What kind of camera did you use? I am very interested in getting an underwater camera.

actually i just used my regular sony cybershot 5.1 megapixel
and used a waterproof bag for it: the company is called Dry-Pac and i was a little weary of using it at first but no water got it (i tested it before i used it) took over 25 shots underwater without a problem

This is very cool, great pics. Interestingly, I also got bit by the SW bug on my very first ocean dives in Aruba. On one of our dives I saw a very tiny trunk fish and an equally tiny trigger of some kind, each maybe 1" long, and they were playing together over some corals...it was incredibly cute.
On the trip home, I began planning out my first tank.
