In late 2019 I participated in my first spear fishing tournament with my buddy Johnny. It was a learning experience for both of us but we had a great time! A January 2021 tournament is coming up and I got 2 more of my buddies, Zack and Mark, to sign up for their first time. Collectively, we're Los Cormoranes (The Cormorants) and just going out there to have fun and spear some invasive species.
Zack and I have been scouting out some areas and testing out our new 5mm wetsuits and I decided to take out my wide angle lens for some over-under shots. It's hard to do with a point-and-shoot camera and the low light from the overcast morning didn't help.

Trying all of the over-under shots made normal photos feel quite easy! Still tough in low light though.
The Texas River Cooters let me get so close! And you can hear them munching on the sagittaria (arrowhead) plant. How cool!
