Thinking of getting involved in underwater photography

[chucknorris]

Hello all,

I am thinking about getting into underwater photography since I see all this cool stuff but it is a bit hard to explain it to my friends...what is a good camera (and strobe? or other equipment??) for me...for a little more info I am trimix certified usually in low light environments. I don't want an extraordinarily expensive camera but I also want one that I can keep up with me. Any suggestions?? I really appreciate it!

Have you checked out the Sticky at the top of the forum? You can get there via the Pink Link in my signature, too. Inside is all sorts of information to help you narrow your search and answer your initial questions.

Are you going to want strobes? Are you simply going to want something to tuck into a pocket? What kinds of scenes do you like to shoot? What's your budget?

More information after reading the Sticky will help us all give you some more direction, maybe ;)
