Galapagos Penguins
Taken while snorkeling at Sombrero Chino in the Galapagos.
These penguins were feeding in the same place where we were snorkeling. They we like minature torpodeos diving past us to catch fish and then swimming to the surface again.
For equipment when taking underwater pictures, I used a Canon PowerShot S95 in an underwater housing (Canon WP-DC38). I tend to find that that combination results in higher quality images than using a waterproof camera without a housing. That said, the photography is challenging. The camera is slow to focus in the low light conditions underwater, and the fish rarely stay still long enough for a really sharp picture.
