The best underwater photos are the detailed shots of fish, mammals, vegetation or other divers. Whether you are a new or experienced diver, make sure you have training and education for diving in exotic environments. A wide-angle lens essentially brings the camera eye closer to the subject, closing the distance between you and a school of fish. The standard wide angle is a 20 mm lens. Here are some advantages to using a wide-angle lens underwater:
A wide-angle lens lets you back off to capture the entire subject in your frame. You are more likely to get the photo you want. Fish swim by quickly and it may be hard to get close for the best shot. A wide-angle lens provides a crisp photo, something you won't get shooting from a distance with a regular lens. Underwater photos tend to look soft from a distance with a standard lens, because of silt and particles in seawater.
