Use a Wide-Angle Lens for the Best Underwater Photos

With digital underwater cameras, divers can take photos without worrying about their film supply or the hassle of film processing. Even better, divers can view their shots underwater and know instantly whether or not they need to take another picture to capture a scene.

Any diver can use a wide-angle lens to get a close-up photo of a manta ray or school of parrot fish. However, divers need specialized training from certified agencies to make more extreme dives. Divers need experience before cave diving, wreck diving and diving under ice, especially if they want to spend their time underwater focusing on photography.
