Master Neutral Buoyancy

Check Camera Housing Seals

Adjusting white balance underwater ensures your images have natural colors despite blue hues.
Avoid Sudden Movements
Move slowly to minimize stirring up sediment, which clouds visibility and image clarity.
Underwater Camera Housing
Protect your camera equipment from water pressure and exposure.
Dive Computer
Monitor depth and time to dive safely during photo sessions.
Buoyancy Compensator Device (BCD)
Maintain neutral buoyancy crucial for stable filming and photography.
