Taking pictures in this completely different setting looks like fun, and I would like to learn more about it. There are different things to consider, and techniques take some getting used to. I am going to include some techniques I found needed to adapt to going underwater.

Light has a hard time traveling through deep depths of water. It is recommended to get as close to a subject as possible to help with light and color vibrancy. Flash can be used, but be careful when shooting a subject, as flash can be harmful to creatures. ISO settings should be at its lowest, and the resolution should be at its highest. Try to shoot in 20ft depths or less when using natural light, using the sun behind you. It is also recommended to shot upward, not downward. To make up for the little light, shutter speed needs to range from 1/30 to 1/125.

Do not use digital zoom,the camera will not be able to focus. Bring a diving light, so that the camera can have a better time focusing on the details without blurring. Use the white balance mode when not using the flash. Most importantly, know your camera before going out to shoot. This way, you are already very familiar with the settings and function of the different components.
