This is a big case with all underwater equipment: camera, macro and wide lenses, underwater housing, wide dome, flat port for housing, underwater strobes with clamps, TTL cables, maintance equipment, silica gel, focus lights, speare parts etc.Feedback
First of all underwater photographer mus be a excellent scuba diver. Balans is on a first place, and shallow breathe on a second. You must know that light is changed underwater, and use this knowledge. Perfect composition and light balance is also important.
