A random egg shell and a wine glass found around a popular boat hanging place near toulon France while snorkeling [photo made with a sealife sportdiver and a Xiaomi 14] and of course i removed them from the sea and disposed of them properly.

Has anyone tested the Seafrogs TG housing to deep depths? It says it’s rated to 60 metres but I’ve taken other housings from Seafrogs rated to 60 metres and they’ve had some issues past 40 metres (buttons not working at depth due to compression). I’ve got a dive tomorrow to 45 metres and wondering if anyone else has had any issues. Thanks 🤩

Just a starfish i encountered in the calanque of Marseille [photo taken with the Xiaomi 14 and sealife sportdiver]

Thanks to my buddy for letting me borrow the smc1 and 2 diopters now I MUST have them :)

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there was an easy way to check water visibility at the beach for diving/snorkelling before hand. I’m from Australia and I know some apps exist but they rely on people reporting visibility themselves which isn’t always accurate or reliable. This is especially frustrating when compared to our many surf cams that show above water conditions but not below.

Please let me know if you have any systems, groups or websites you check

I am wondering what people are doing to keep the camera and lights under control while not using it, i.e. while descending or moving between photography locations. Do you have the camera and tray and lights on a leash attached to you, or a strap around the neck, or to a d-ring on the harness, or nothing at all, just in your hands. I would obviously not like to lose it. I am using an Olympus TG-7 with a pair of Backscatter lights and a tray FYI.

Flying soon on a quick trip to the Red Sea and taking my new photo gear.
Do you macro specialists mostly stay in a smaller area looking for fauna or chance it by swimming with a group?

I have a trip planned where I'll be doing some snorkeling in Galapagos. I'm planning on getting a Sea Frogs enclosure for my A7C with a 28-60mm lens. I feel like the 6" dome port is a good call, but I'm having trouble determining what, if anything, to do about a red filter. Is it necessary? Can I just make adjustments after? Would the standard Sea Frogs housing with an external red filter make any significant differences? If warranted, could a red filter just be used on the end of the lens inside the dome port (or something like the Kase underwater rear lens filter)? I'm an absolute beginner at photography, so any help would be great.

Hi! sorry im not a native english speaker so you may see some grammar mistakes.

I would like to have my first camera, as im taking my advanced course in a few weeks. the quality of the photos are the thing im most concerned about. but I think the action camera might be more conforatble for the use underwater? I always can learn tho, Im trying to find example of pictures for both cameras but is kind of difficult, most people post videos of the dji

Hello!

I am looking for some guidance on what I should buy in order to get into underwater photography. I am soon going to go on a long road trip across the USA and would like to take pictures of underwater wildlife for when I'll be snorkeling or free diving in places like the Florida Keys. I recently upgraded my DSLR set up so now I have a Canon Rebel T6i that i'm no longer using so that's why i was considering getting an Outex housing. Other than that, the other two options I am considering are the Olympus TG-7 or the Sea Life Micro 3.0. Are there any meaningful differences between those two in terms of performance or quality? My budget is flexible, I just don't want to shell out thousands for a full on DSLR housing rig, especially since I'll be on the road. Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated!
