Google maps is now underwater!!

I just found out today that Google Maps Streetview is now providing photos underwater!  I just tried it, and let me tell you....it's pretty awesome!  I actually didn't realize this at first, but in order to get the underwater view, you need to move your little man to the orange dot.  See the pic below:

In case you didn't know, the little blue dots are regular pictures that you can view from those locations.

I have to admit that I was a little bit disappointed at first because I was hoping that you would be able to swim around the bay!  Unfortunately, you're stuck in one spot!  Oh well....the 360° pic is still really cool....and a step in the right direction!  Perhaps they'll eventually add enough photos to enable us to actually swim in the future!

Google has a little more information about this new feature on their blog.  Or you might just want to go straight to your favorite places, like Hanauma Bay or Molokini Island.

Please feel free to leave comments of your own regarding this...
