    So hard to get great underwater shots. I always watch things like Oceans jealously.

      It can definitely be a challenge!

    Wow, I simply loved the photos. This place looks spectacular. I would struggle to take such good shots. What camera did you use? I’m very impressed.

      Thanks! Any photographer will tell you it’s the photographer, not the camera that takes a good picture. That’s like asking a baker what oven they have. LOL

      Having said that (sorry!), this is actually just a simple point & shoot in underwater housing. I use a Nikon Coolpix L22.

    I have problems mastering photography on land so god knows what would happen under water! Although the battery situation must have been a frustrating blunder!

      HAHA! Yes, I swore into my regulator. It was a nice and sunny day, too, so I had some great lighting on the wreck. Sigh

    I’ve just bought my first underwater camera and even though that’s what it’s made for, I’m freaking out about actually submerging it! I’m a weirdo

    Best blunder? I bought an entire bundle of new memory cards… and left them sitting on the kitchen table during the packing process.

    I’m still relatively slack about underwater photography: I simply take the GoPro, shoot whatever I see, then freeze stills from that. At some point I want to get an underwater housing for my Canon, but those suckas are pricey! Still, if you check out our post on Dominica’s Champagne Reef from a few weeks back, the GoPro results aren’t half bad in shallow depths.

      Yes! I wanted housing for my DSLR but the housing costs about twice what I paid for my camera plus 2 lenses! Which is why I shoot with a point and click under water. LOL I do like the video from GoPro and am considering getting one at some point. I can shoot some video with my camera, though.

    I would love to know what kind of camera you are using for underwater. I did my last maternity portrait shoot underwater and other than the major issue with the camera’s delay, bouyancy was my biggest challenge… not my buoyancy;) My last trip in Corsica proved to be very frustrating. Due to the camera delay, I chased this fish around for 15 minutes and got about 30 shots of his tail! Great advice for the white balance!

      I use a Nikon Coolpix L22 in Ikelite housing. No external flash. Wish I had some but too heavy to travel with.
