Underwater photography is surely a favorite pastime for scuba divers. The idea could have come from those few people that were able to experience the joys and beauty of underwater life and a desire to share that beauty with others.

You have probably also seen it used on documentaries and national geographic type programs about underwater life.

The right equipment form an essential part in taking great underwater photographs. In doing this you will need an underwater camera but there is more to it than that.  There are now even disposable underwater cameras and you can take them on vacation with you and get that great underwater look.
