Analyzing depth, light and camera angles for Caribbean reef sharks based on a digital dive profile
Shark diving attracts bubble blowers from all over the world. These seasonally timed dives can almost guarantee seeing at least one or two sharks in close proximity - a far more exhillarating experience (albeit less natural) than crossing a shark during a traditional dive.

Photographing fish feeding on spawning corals, plus discussion on camera gear and shooting techniques

Photographing fish feeding on spawning corals, plus discussion on camera gear and shooting techniques
The dusk peach sky stretched into black as I hopped off the bangka into the warm water of Anilao, Philippines. The water was already dark as I turned in the direction of our dive group, lazily flicking my fins to drift towards the lights. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a butterflyfish dart by in a fast turn, quickly followed by a second. Was it mating behavior? I turned to investigate.

Start shooting energetic surf photos with these fundamental tips, including focus, settings and camera gear
There's something to be said about capturing a breaking wave - locking yourself into a barrel with a surfer, stopping time - and capturing that precise moment on camera. Surf photography is a very demanding art form that doesn't only require technical skill, but high physical endurance and a great knowledge and understanding of the surroundings in and out of the water. Critical timing is everything when trying to engage with a surfer. Here are five tips to get you started in the right direction.

Take an inside look at the camera and housing gear used by underwater photographer Ron Watkins
Currently I shoot with my Nikon D800 full frame DSLR camera system in a Sea&Sea housing and utilize various wide and macro lenses and ports. I also travel with a second Nikon D300 camera body and Sea&Sea housing as a backup. I have been shooting with Sea&Sea housings, strobes and ports since my first DSLR Nikon D200 camera and found the reliability and ease of use very good. Here are my Wide Angle and Macro setups.
