Photo Tips
1.
Be mindful of your depth, decompression limits, air supply, the location of
your dive buddy, and the proximity of the other divers at all times. No photo
is worth your safety or the safety of others.
2.
Move close to your subject to photograph through as little water as possible.
Try to keep things within arms reach. We recommend trying to keep within 3
feet (1 m) of your subject or less.
3.
Don’t chase your subject — watch its behavior, position yourself
appropriately, and wait for it to come to you.
4.
If possible, position yourself slightly below your subject and shoot at an
upward angle.
5.
Use a wide angle lens to get closer to large subjects.
6.
Take your time and take several photos of each subject, and vary your
angle and/or camera settings slightly between photos. The professionals
come back each day with hundreds of photos to sort through!
7.
Don’t trust your camera’s LCD. Never delete a photo until you’ve seen it on
a computer screen.
8.
Try to keep the sun behind you when shooting portraits.
9.
It is important to respect all living creatures underwater: people, marine
life, and coral. While we encourage you to get close to your subject, please
don’t touch or disturb the things you find underwater.
