On our only dive of the day we remembered a fully charged camera but no memory card, so the internal 10 MB had enough room for only 3 shots, so we had to make them good (well, the best we could given the difficulty of seeing sharpness thru the small viewfinder underwater). In hindsight, we wish we'd reduced the quality/size level per photo & thereby gotten a few more shots in, considering these are not of the greatest focus/sharpness we've gotten. We settled on 3 shell-less mollusks, based on such factors as 1) we could get close & steady ourselves, 2) they did not scurry away when we approached, 3) they're quite beautiful marine creatures that we greatly admire & 4) these were not everyday varieties in dives around here.
This gorgeous white, purple & yellow nudibranch was the best shot we came away with:
This white (yes, the green hue was not so much there in real life) marine gastropod mollusk (of undetermined variety) was really cool (those feathery appendages moved):
And this gorgeous green & blue nudibranch was much prettier in focus:
