Hi there,

I have just ventured into DSLR underwater photography and am looking for a couple of good basic underwater photography books that are not going to blow my mind or require a degree to understand !

Cheers

Danny

I also just moved over to DSLR and this book has been amazing for me. It has everything I was looking for and is very easy to follow: Amazon.com: The Underwater Photographer, Fourth Edition (9780240521640): MARTIN EDGE: Books

I bought Martin Edge's book (recommended above) and was blown away - absolutely loved it.

Forgot about that book. I have it too, but it's somewhere in storage. I'll have to dig it out.

Another vote for Martin. Also look at the Drafahl's books, very good stuff there.

I want to add my vote for Martin Edge's book. Fantastic stuff. Martin also has a couple of videos (one on The Underwater Channel) showing his techniques for macro & wide angle. Google Martin Edge underwater photography video and you will find some great tips.
