This was taken with my old camera and even with filters everything looked blue. Saw a few of these guys on the reef that day but I think this is one of the better looking pictures. If you look to the left hand side you can actually see a Coral Banded Shrimp hanging out as well.

I believe this and other things were included in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T0AKDo28WE

My images are stills from video that I have taken on my dives around the US and the Caribbean. https://www.youtube.com/@MuttMuttOutdoors/videos

For anyone wondering I’m using a DJI Action 4 in a housing mounted on my DIY FigRig. https://www.muttmutt.us/my-current-camera-setup/

Thank you. I love being on the reef and have started seeing things the guides go past. And I clean up trash along the way while recording. If I get the chance I'm going to try and go a couple places and just dive my butt off (literally cause I'm a fat guy) for at least a month.

Diving honestly really isn't swimming. You just have to be able to float or "tread water" for 10 minutes to learn. Your BCD keeps you on the surface when you need to be and helps you maintain your level under water. I'm a water person but without fins and BCD not a super swimmer, however under water I do great. Honestly I would to become an instructor and teach people who have survived childhood abuse to dive for free.
