A few weeks ago I went scuba diving off the coast of San Diego. The water was very cold (about 48 degrees Fahrenheit at the bottom) and the visibility was poor, maybe 10 to 15 feet. I went down to see the wreck of the Canadian destroyer Yukon, which rests in about 105 feet of water. It was almost pitch-black down there, but the dive lights and camera flash revealed an explosion of color that you'd never expect in such dark and seemingly hostile places.

Below you can see some of the pictures we took. The red and white anemones cover most of the wreck and are breathtakingly beautiful.

I also did some kelp diving. On the surface, kelp looks just like ugly seaweed. Underwater they are grand, magical plants gently swaying, with intricate structures never seen on dry ground. They also harbor some incredibly colorful creatures, like the nudibranchs (orange/purple) and anemone (green) shown below. The pictures were taken with a Canon G10 14-megapixel camera with deepwater housing.
