Very nice pictures as usual!
It's amazing how close to the surface they are, and yet in the movie we have the impression that they are very deep.
Hope you can show some shots of the giant squid attack done at Walt Disney Studios in the water tank. After this movie came out my brother played Nemo in the tub with a giant coffee pot on his head.
