For all of you who asked. This was shot with a Nikon D300 and a 10.5mm fisheye. The camera is kept inside and underwater housing, and i have a big dome port for shooting this kind of stuff. The dome displaces the water by pushing it out and gives you a nice well defined split in the water line. I have tried to do this with my other port for the 17-55mm but the front of that port is flat. The dome is absolutely necessary to pull this off. Hope that helps, feel free to ask more questions if you have them.
In the story A huge thank you to you all!!!.

What a great shot, how in the world did you capture that? I just got back from Akumal, Mexico where I snorkeled with turtles and it was amazing. I miss them.
