📸 Henry was shooting with a Canon R5 in an Ikelite housing with dual Ikelite DS230 strobes and a Bluewater 3000 video light. He used the Canon EF 8–15mm f/4 fisheye for wide angle and the RF 100mm f/2.8 Macro for the smaller stuff.

Henry is also a scuba instructor, freediver, and underwater photographer, and has spent years diving everywhere from Indonesia and Australia to the Caribbean, Europe, and Brazil. 🌊

🤿 If you're a new diver, which pieces of scuba gear should you buy first?

With so much gear to choose from, it can be difficult to know what's worth investing in and what you can continue renting.

In this video, Elma shares three pieces of dive gear she recommends owning, especially if you're just getting started!

💬 Divers, what was the first piece of scuba gear you bought? And what would you recommend to someone starting out?

📸 Ever wondered how photographers trigger a strobe that isn’t attached to their camera?

Remote strobes can completely change the look of a wide-angle image. They can light up the inside of a wreck, create backlighting behind a subject, or add depth to a scene in a way that’s very difficult to achieve with strobes mounted on your housing.

The Marelux remote strobe system makes that possible without running a long fiber optic cable across the scene.

In our latest article, Nirupam breaks down exactly how it works underwater, including:

💡 How the Marelux Lumiflux sends the trigger signal
📡 How far the signal can travel underwater
⚡ How the Terminal Flash Repeater works with compatible strobes
📷 Why strobes can be useful for remote lighting compared with video lights
🤿 What he learned testing the system on the wrecks of Truk Lagoon

There are also some very cool examples showing just how much a carefully placed third strobe can change an image.

If you’ve ever wanted to experiment with remote lighting underwater, this is a good one to save.

🌙 6 blackwater images shot with the Nikon 60mm f/2.8 Macro.

Blackwater diving gives you some of the strangest, smallest, and most fascinating subjects in the ocean, and a macro lens is pretty much essential when many of them are only a few centimeters long.

Here are six of our favorite images captured using the Nikon 60mm f/2.8 Macro. 📸

Which one is your favorite? 👇

🇵🇭 Have you heard of Anda, Bohol? It might just be one of the Philippines’ most underrated diving destinations!

🐢 We’re talking colorful coral walls, incredible macro life, frogfish, pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, and LOTS of turtles. On one dive, our very own Nirupam Nigam encountered 28 turtles!

📸 And for underwater photographers, there’s another reason to visit: mandarin fish! Anda offers some incredible opportunities to photograph these colorful little fish, including their fascinating mating behavior at sunset.
