2021's Top Deals for Underwater Photographers

The holidays are upon us! Here are our favorite deals on underwater photo & video gear & travel destinations.
By UWPG Staff

It's the most wonderful time of the year.....if you're an underwater photographer, that is! Black Friday and Holiday deals make a very pricy passion just a little more affordable. Often the best deals are found in the small things like underwater strobes, video lights, and lenses. But sometimes, large camera packages can have incredible savings (like this Sea & Sea R5 package with over $900 in savings!). We've also found some great deals on dive travel so you can put your new camera to the test. These are some of our favorite holiday deals this year at Bluewater Photo & Bluewater Travel:

This Ikelite DS 160 Mark II and TTL converter package opens the gateway to a world of creativity and gives you the ultimate freedom to compose your photos without worrying if you have proper exposures. Ikelite's TTL electronics are designed specific to every camera model so that every time you hit the shutter, the Ikelite DS 160 strobe knows exactly how much light you need. You can still shoot in TTL when you are on manual mode on your camera, so you still have full control over your photos. TTL allows you to focus on composition and capture photos with good exposures on subjects that are constantly moving. Combined with insanely fast recycle times from the Ikelite DS 160, you couldn't be better equipped for any lighting situation.
