Underwater photography has been around for a long time. And in the days of film cameras each new major film body would be followed in a year or two with a housing to enable its use underwater. In those days camera bodies stayed in production for a long time.
With digital cameras, the industry is still in a period of fast change. The camera you buy today will probably be replaced in a year or two. The underwater housing people have come up with housing just about as fast as the cameras come out. Sometimes it seems even before the cameras are shipped.
Jack and Sue Drafahl have been underwater photographers for 35 years. They have made the change to digital and in this book describe the advantages and differences of using digital equipment underwater.
The book is a general introduction to underwater photography as well as covering the specialized parts of digital photography. Well worth reading before your trip to the islands.

It’s perfectly answering to all my doubts and questions in my switching from film photography to digital. My suggestion is to have a background in general u/w photo because it’s not a general u/w photo manual.

INTOVA INWD-IC600 6.0 Megapixel Digital Camera with Waterproof Housing -180FT We purchased this camera for our granddaughter’s 13th birthday. She has taken underwater pictures of her brother at an indoor pool which were great. She has taken videos of different things outside of the water and both the picture and audio are terrific. She will be using it on a trip to the Pacific and is eager to use it to film underwater there. Great Buy!!

I bought this for my scuba diving photographer husband as a present. He said it is an excellent book as he leafed through it. Then he sat down to read it immediately. That’s quite a positive reaction for him.

I’ve been interested in underwater photography for a long time as an observer, but didn’t know if I wanted to go to the expense of equipping myself for this type of work. This book answered all my questions.
