Underwater Photography News

Last week, on July 7, 2016, a spotter pilot captured a rare photo of a great white chasing and trying to catch a seal on the north side of Nauset Inlet in Orleans, Massachusetts.  

When you see the photo, we assume that the shark caught the seal but the outcome was otherwise. The photos shows that the shark was closing in on the seal and looks like it made contact, closing the deal. The seal got away! 

Scuba diving in St. Maarten and the Cayman Islands is about to get a big boost. With the desire of protecting endangered species, two Caribbean governments have now declared two new shark sanctuaries.  The territorial waters of Cayman Islands and St. Maarten, approximately 119,631 sq. kms, are now being protected and now closed to all commercial shark fishing. 

WiFi and NFC are being built into most modern cameras, from compact to DSLR, as photographers look to share images to social media while the action is still unfolding. Even the pro-level Canon 1DX Mk II has a wireless file transmitter! The next step is (naturally) to start syncing your photos with your digital dive log.

Deepblu has released an iOS dive log and social media app as well as the COSMIQ Dive Companion computer to do just that.
