Photography - Underwater

CCR Megalodon diver on deco station after deep dive in Tanzania, Africa

I started to take photos underwater when doing my Divemaster course in 1992 in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. Further experimentation with analog underwater photography was done when living in Honduras, Roatan Island with a Sea & Sea MX 10 camera.

My first underwater housing for a digital camera was for the Sony P5 but I realized very fast that it had its limits in regards of depth, wide angle needs and image quality.

When we bought a Olympus 3040 digital camera with a light and motion Tetra housing for the store in 2003, that featured a wide angle screw on lens my underwater photography became a bit more sophisticated.

Currently I am use and own a Olympus 3030 digital camera with a Light and motion Tetra housing. All of my underwater photography is ambient light, and quite a bit of it is in black and white.
