Caloy,
Nice picture. Having to look at the 35" of snow we've had in the last month sure makes me eager for April and Roatan!!!!!

So I'm very new, not just to diving and underwater photography, but photography as well. Diving actually got me into photography! How funny is that? 
One thing I'd like to say before I post my pics. I read in the sticky the recommendation to new divers to get their buoyancy down before they hit the water with a camera. Obviously I've done the opposite...and I've found it helped quite a bit. Carrying my camera (even though it's not expensive or fancy) forced me into learning better buoyancy control (either learn or break the camera) and forced me to stop all the unnecessary sculling with my hands. Carrying my camera has been quite the boon for my diving skills.
All underwater photos were taken with a Canon Powershot S50, WP-DC300 Housing, and Sealife SL 960 Strobe. All above water photos were taken with a Nikon D80.
That said, here are some of my favorite newbie pics!
My first attempt at playing with the macro mode on my camera...
And the rest from before I discovered the macro mode...
I know this is not a great shot, but it's just one of my favorites...It was one of those magical moments where you go "yeah...this is why I dive..."
Turtle in Maui...
And...Shelly of Shaws...
And a couple of above water photos from the Hong Kong Wetlands Park, which I got to visit over the fall.

Very nice Paradicio. You're off to a good start. Love the Seal, I can't get enough of those guys under water. Your waterfall is a very nice composition.

Let's see if I can figure out how to get an image in here from Flickr:

Paradicio,
I like your shots, both here and on the link. The waterfall is wonderful.
Please excuse the embellishment below. It's all I could think of after looking at the picture.

can anyone tell me what this thing is? The picture was taken at Sodwana Bay, South Africa about 15 meters down, on a night dive. It is roughly 30cm long.
