Mexican stars underwater

Did somebody put these stars by hand to create a scene? I prefer to believe the answer is No. I prefer to believe this is all-natural.

I just found this gem set of photos that bring very relaxing memories… Shallow warm seas inhabited by cute starfish.

They all seemed to be of the same species. Even the same family perhaps?

Some close-ups

Where?

Snorkeling in Cozumel, a small island off the coast of Playa del Carmen, México. Pre-Covid times after attending a conference!

How?

Snorkeling with a GoPro camera. Mine can (presumably) go down up to 30 meters! Not paid to advertise them, but these little cameras are really cool.

For some very different but nice waters, including a couple of photos underwater:
