The extreme conditions often make photography difficult in an environment where time is at a premium. Most underwater photgraphers operate in shallow water where they can take their time to set up shots and have plenty of sunlight to work with. For the very specialised needs of deepwater wreck photography you'll need specialist underwater camera equipment. Ocean Optics can provide some of the very best underwater camera systems to more than match the challenges and ravages of technical diving photography. For technical diving stills photography we recommend Nexus housings.
Nexus satisfy a number of important criteria.
Nexus are aluminium for ruggedness. They are simple to use. Main controls are oversized and ribbed for use with thick gloves. Full face mask users may want to consider a Nikon F4 with action finder for edge to edge viewfinding. Nexus housings can be used with tripods for long exposures in poor light.
