No one is ever going to convict you of photographing a fish. If there is one environmentally friendly activity that all the tree huggers agree on, it is that taking photos is ok. If you enter and exit the water with a camera, that is proof enough that you did not hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to, because your hands were already full with camera, housing, and strobe.
The law as written is fine.
Now Elaine, back to work, lets see some more of your beautiful breath taking underwater photos!
