What's New in Underwater Photography going into 2020....

The DEMA show is the world’s largest tradeshow for dive industry and underwater photo/video professionals. This year DEMA 2019 was held in Orlando, Florida and all the big names in the industry were in attendance! We were particularly curious what DEMA 2019 was going to hold for underwater creatives after momentous strides in photography made in 2018 and the start of 2019. The mirrorless camera revolution, particularly in the full-frame market, has changed the game for many underwater photographers.
