Exploring the rock pools at Trevaunance with an underwater camera is fascinating.

Dark crevices can be illuminated by flash to reveal a startling array of vivid colours: orange sponges and pink encrusting seaweeds carpet the rock surfaces.

 

Photos taken near the water/air interface can give interesting reflections.

   

 

Other photos might be quite abstract.
