The galleries below contain photos I have taken underwater around the world. I began shooting digital in 2000, but the photos taken from 2000-2002 were with the still function of a camcorder at only 1 megapixel resolution (and no strobe), whereas the Grand Cayman and St. Vincent photos utilized a housed Nikon Coolpix at 5 megapixels and one strobe, and everything since 2003 was shot with Canon Digital SLRs at 8-21 megapixels in Seacam or Aquatica housings with dual Inon strobes, as shown above.

Although I have never attempted to sell any of my photographs (other than to raise money for charity), many are watermarked out of respect for others who make a living at it. All photos are copyright © 2009 (if not copyrighted earlier) by Bruce Yates, and may not be used in any form without express permission, whether watermarked or not.
