Underwater Photography Reviews

Dive, Focus and Video Lights

There are a wide range of lights available for underwater photographers, which generally fall into two main uses. The first is as a focus light for macro shooting (which doubles as a primary light for night dives), and the second is for shooting underwater video. We are constantly reviewing new lights, working with Bluewater Photo to provide the best recommendations for new and experienced photographers and videographers.

At UWPG we review new housings, cameras, lenses, strobes, video lights, focus lights, wet lenses, diopters and ports for underwater photo and video.
