Advanced underwater photography

Advanced underwater photography requires mastering diving first, then learning photography techniques specific to this environment.

Advanced cameras for dive photography

Mirrorless cameras with water housings
They give professional image quality with flexibility to change lenses, but they are more expensive and more complex.

Point-and-shoot cameras dedicated to diving
Balanced between quality and ease, and an excellent option for the diver who wants to progress without great complexity.

Advanced photography techniques

Dual external lighting
Two parallel lights remove shadows and give unified lighting on the subject for professional-looking photos.

Macro photography
For small things such as eggs, snails, and small fish. It requires a macro lens and ideal balance.

Wide-angle photography
For full reef scenes, turtles, and large creatures. It requires getting very close to the subject.

Ethics of dive photography

• Do not pressure marine creatures for a better photo
• Do not put objects into coral sites to stabilize the camera
• Share your photos in a way that inspires people to protect the sea

The most beautiful marine photo is the one taken with love for the sea and without harm to its inhabitants.
