Cameras

Imagine being able to capture the amazing images you see once under that water, and to save and share your wonderful memories forever. Many divers want to have this ability, but if you have never taken underwater photos, buying a camera and learning how to use it can be quite intimidating. Below are a few tips to help you choose a camera that will best suit your needs.

Digital Cameras

With a digital camera you have the ability to see your pictures immediately after you take them, keep the pictures you like, delete those you do not, and the photos are in digital form so you can e-mail them to your friends and family, burn them to photo CDs, and edit them with computer programs. While a digital camera may be slightly more expensive in the sort run, you will never have to pay for film or processing.

Film Cameras

Film cameras are popular because they are less expensive in the short run (you have to consider the cost of film and processing in the future), the resolution is usually better than that of digital, and you have the ability to have prints of any size processed.

Video Cameras

While video may require a little extra money, capturing good-quality scenes on videotape is relatively easy. Also, the major benefit is obvious- you can bring the beauty of the underwater world to life above water.

Owning dive equipment represents a long term investment in fun and safety. A good set of dive gear can last you through years of diving and travel, take you to unforgettable experiences in incredible underwater environments and most importantly, bring you home safely.
