Underwater Black and White Shots

These were snapshots of underwater activity. The films are 49 years old (2011) and when they were developed they were rinsed in saltwater and then in alcohol for rapid drying (to prevent dust colloection). All were shot on Tri-X film and processed at ASA 400. These are scans of small prints made at the time. I could not fully restore these pictures so their quality is lacking.
All pictures were shot with a Leica IIIf camera in a Jordan Klein housing. No flash was used.
More to be added soon.
