When it comes to the marine plastic pollution crisis, all hope is not lost! There are things you can do now...
Plastic pollution enters the Caribbean Sea on the shores of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic - only a few miles to the nearest dive destination. Beaches are the interface between pollution and our natural wonders we hold so dear.

In recent weeks, Light & Motion announced two lights – the Sola Video Pro 12,000 and Sola Video Pro 15,000 – that are very exciting for underwater videographers and anyone who needs a ludicrous amount of light in a small package. At a first glance they are quite impressive and will certainly sit at the forefront of the industry.

The GoPro takes amazing underwater macro video! Tips and tricks for capturing small critters with just a GoPro, some lights, a macro lens, and some patience...
Note from the Editor-in-Chief: A Gopro is more versatile than one might think for underwater video, considering the size and simplicity of a GoPro. With so many cool critters underwater being smaller than the size of an apple, capturing video of macro critters is a top priority for many divers. The GoPro is an excellent tool for this if you know how to utilize its fullest potential.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ever since she can remember, Lisa has been fascinated by the ocean and its inhabitants. Born and raised in the middle of the prairies, though, she mostly had to make do with books and movies to satisfy her curiosity. In 2011, she got her open water certification in Mozambique. In 2018, Lisa and her fiance Bryan quit their jobs to travel for a year, and did as much diving as possible along the way (in French Polynesia, Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines). During this time, Lisa started playing around with taking GoPro video, and has enjoyed capturing the wonderful creatures they have met on their dives. You can find more of her videos on her Instagram (@lisa.gets.lost)

Sony a6400 4K underwater video featuring marine life of the Pacific Northwest
When I first entered the chilly waters of Whidbey Island, Washington, Sony a6400 in hand, I had one mission above all else – to capture some 4K underwater video. I have to admit, I’m no Spielberg when it comes to videography. But the specs sheet for the Sony a6400 make it one of the top cameras for underwater video, and I was determined to see what I could do. I have to say, I wasn’t disappointed.
