To keep up the recent interest in true snorkeling on this forum (instead of free-diving), I thought I would post a sampling of the varous snorkeling photos I have taken. I have really gotten into this in the last several years, although I certainly don't have fancy equipment - just your run-of-the-mill point 'n shoots - and I don't know much about technical photography. One advantage to taking photos while snorkeling, especially in clear tropical waters, is that you can use available light and don't need expensive and bulky strobes.
I've recently put some of my best photos on flickr:
Snorkeling - a set on Flickr
My main photo site is Pbase, where there are a bunch more photos:
Dave_Clausen's Photo Galleries at pbase.com
For the best (and to my knowledge only) collection of snorkeling photos in general from many different people, there is a snorkeling "pool" on flickr:
Flickr: Snorkeling around the world
Right now there are a total of 5,577 photos on this pool. They vary in quality, but some are quite good.
I encourage other snorkelers to post any photos they have on this Scubaboard forum (Snorkeling/freediving). I don't know if there are too many snorkeling photographers out there, but it would be interesting to see other's photos.
Here are some my personal favorites of my snorkeling photos:
Spadefish at the Destin jetties, Destin Florida (Florida Panhandle)
Green sea turtle at Akumal, Yucatan, Mexico. (Note that there is a tag on the turtle's right front flipper.)
Blackbar soldierfish at Culebra Island, Puerto Rico. (This was taken with the camera's internal flash because the fish were inside a shaded overhang.)
Gray angelfish, Culebra Island, Puerto Rico
Caribbean king crab on a sea fan, Cayos Cochinos, Honduras
Green moray, Cabo Pulmo, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Striped hermit crab in the shell of a lightening whelk, Destin jetties, Destin Florida
Pillar coral, Roatan, Honduras
Stingray, Ambergris Cay, Belize
