When the ocean decides to shape-shift. Found this hidden skull in the middle of a massive sardine bait ball. 💀

You see it too?

One of the more common Nudibranchs we find off the East Coast of South Africa, this Halgerda has pretty cool colours.

Hello everyone! I would like to try my hand at macro photography using a GoPro Hero 11. I was thinking of purchasing the Inon UCL G55 ZD as a lens:

Inon UCL-G55 ZD Underwater Close-up Lens

and as a mount this:
Kit Doppia Staffa Custodie Fotografia Subacquea con Sfere 25 mm

But I'm still not convinced on the strobe/light to buy. Are there are there relatively cheap lights to start with? I usually dive in lakes but I want to go also in rivers and streams and I also have an holiday planned in the Maldives at Dharavandhoo where I hope I'll find some nudibranchs.

Shot in Mo’orea, French Polynesia.

Hey all, I’m a very experienced Freediver and spearo - typically diving kelp forests and California reef, but also travel to tropical places.

I’m new to photography, only having experience with an old Nikon dslr (back in the 2010s) and GoPros. I’d like to start underwater photography since all my friends and family want to see my underwater adventures.

I found this on FB and am wondering if I should get it or if it’s too much for starting out? I’d like something I can grow into and not upgrade for the next few years. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Philippinen immer eine Reise werd

Hi all! I'll soon have some budget and I'm looking to get a single strobe setup for my Sony a6700 to do wide angle photography. I'll get the new seafrogs flash trigger for it too.

Currently have my eyes on the Kraken S160, basically because some photographers I like use it. VERY soft, wide beam angle (140°) with a diffuser, 1.6 sec recycle time (I guess that's really good?), convenient USB C charging. It's labelled as GN16 but I've seen lots of wide angle sample photos, so I guessssss it's not an issue? Available for 615$ in my local retail store. Pretty costy but somewhat acceptable.

Sea & sea YS-D3 also looks solid. With a diffuser the light beam is pretty soft and even according to a backscatter video. GN33, 1.7 sec recycle time. However it seems to have been discontinued and doesn't offer the USB C charging feature that the Kraken offers, so I'll have to bother with getting the batteries in and out. Available for 467$ quite significantly more affordable.

Will not consider getting 2 strobes atm as I do plan to get a new lens on the budget as well.

Thanks for reading! Please let me know your thoughts.

Phenomenal diving while I was in koh Chang

Malediven immer eine reise wert

Purchased this beast but don’t have a camera yet to match it to! I’ve been thinking the canon r7.. any other mirror less options that could be better? I mainly take photos over video :)
