Yeah, I was going to query that ... I thought Pentax cameras were only rated down to 4000m below 
That is a very distinctive and powerful blue there, and its very illustrative the way you've got two of them from different angles.

I bet a trip 5000m deep in a submersible in the Marianas Trench is cheaper than a room at the Dubai Atlantis

Thanks. Very dim lighting because the rings on the top are bio-luminescent so this highlights that - not sure why blue though but looks nice. Difficult to compose because they are constantly moving and changing positions but I liked the view from two different angles also so glad you picked up on that.

Got a couple of bonuses at work and could've bought the complete line up of DA* lenses instead of the holiday. Should've seen my wife's face when I suggested that - now that was a picture!
