Light and good visibility are the key to underwater photography, therefore an external flash

will always improve your pictures, film or digital. Don’t let the greater number of

buttons of the digital camera confuse you. Most you do not need. Underwater you only

need two: The shutter button and the power button.

Power is a major difference: You can take 8 rolls of film with 2 Alkaline batteries, and they

will stay fresh in the camera for at least 6 months. But the digital cameras are so power-

hungry that you have to recharge your batteries every night, you cannot even use regular

batteries. Most power is consumed by the monitor, which you can turn off on land, but

underwater it is too important to be turned off. Fully charged SeaLife batteries will get you

through two dives, if you manage the power wisely. That’s why we have built in the auto-

matic power save mode and the power on/off button.

Some people say, digital photography is more difficult. But the truth is that you have to famil-

iarize yourself with any new camera. The good thing is, that you can experiment and take

dozens or hundreds of pictures without limitation of film. So, the most important method to

take great pictures has remained the same: Just do it, try everything and you will become

a master in no time, and have fun.
