flmonkey_gbp - 2008-07-03 6:10 AM Really cool photogs.  Thanks for sharing.  How did he take the underwater pictures? 

Most likely a regular Digital SLR in an underwater housing.  I have been watching every night and haven't seen any scuba bubbles, and they sure as hell aren't letting people free dive under them.  But someone is down there

I would guess a high-res camera mounted to the bottom in a housing or even embedded in the bottom of the pool which is operated remotely.

 

Probably, at one or two different angles since they appear to be the same

You can see the cameras mounted on the bottom of the pool when they show some of the up close side shots.  Looked to be sticking out and not embedded.

SHE is just SMOKIN HAWT!

Hubba, hubba, hubba.

 

Oh, and great photo's to the OP.

Has she ever had a baby? Look at those abs!

Yep, she has a ~2 year old daughter.
