As I had mentioned in earlier posts, this had been an unusual week of diving for me. The swell from the north kept things churned up thereby decreasing visibility. The skies were variable, and when overcast, that also affected how things looked underwater. And, to top it off, I had gone all week without seeing a sea turtle.
On my last dive of the week, I was exploring a rocky area not far off the shore. The water was tumultuous, but the landscape was beautiful. Then, to my right, I spotted a giant green sea turtle coming by for a snack of vegetation. He was only inches from me, and we swayed back and forth in the tide (me trying to stay out of his way so as not to disturb his lunch.)
I figured that my week was now complete, and I should probably think about heading home. It was a terrific conclusion.

While reading about your under water photograph, I realized a camera well suited for snorkeling with underwater housing would be an ideal gift for my wife who loves to snorkel. We live in Kauai 9 months of the year. I would like get some recommendations from you and the followers of Digital Story. Thanks, John.
The equipment you buy depends both on budget and needs, like so many things in photography.
Since I'm mainly a skin diver, my gear is simple and light. I use a compact Canon PowerShot in a Canon underwater housing. You might want to take a look at Canon's Underwater Housing page:
