Yesterday Google released Street View imagery for a few new countries, but they also released their first ever underwater imagery -- and it looks amazing!
As reported on the Google Lat Long Blog, the new imagery is thanks to a partnership with The Catlin Seaview Survey. For now you can find it in Google Maps but it's not yet available in Google Earth. I expect it will be soon, but no word on it yet.
In the meantime, here are some great sights to see:
• Swim with a turtle
• Follow a manta ray
• Watch a sunset
• Dive in Maui's Molokini crater
• Snorkel in Oahu's Hanauma Bay
They've also posted a video that shows how the imagery was captured, which involved a special camera called the SVII.
When you notice the imagery finally appear in Google Earth, please leave a comment below and let us know. For more, check out the full post on the Google Lat Long Blog.

It appears that Google has just pushed out some new Street View imagery for a few countries:
Andorra: most of the country
Chile: Santiago, Concepcion, and Valpraraiso
Croatia: most of the country
Check it out for yourself on Google Maps or in Google Earth. If you've not used Street View in Google Earth before, here's a quick video to show you how it works:
