Quick tips from the pro
1) Be patient, calm, and approach subject slowly. Most fish will
be frightened and swim away from you. Don’t chase fish.
Let them come to you.
2) Be observant. Study coral heads closely for sea life. You
will be amazed at the abundance of sea life that dwells
within a small area.
3) Be creative and experiment with a variety of photo
opportunities.
4) Make sure the wide angle lens is completely seated onto
housing lens port.
5) Use two external flashes to avoid shadowing and to achieve
the best color. This also results in interesting color effects
with translucent subjects.
6) Visually inspect the lens before, during and after the dive to
make sure no air is trapped between the lens and the
camera. If air is trapped between lens and camera, remove
lens while underwater and “burp” out the air.
