Hi everyone, I’m interested in getting involved in underwater photography and videography competitions and would love to hear your recommendations and experiences. Which underwater photography and video competitions would you recommend worldwide? Are there any particularly well-known, prestigious or interesting competitions that are open to international participants? I’d also be interested in knowing where and how to enter, what the requirements are, and whether there are separate categories for underwater photography and video. Have any of you entered these competitions yourselves? What was your experience like? Did you receive useful feedback, gain recognition or even win any awards? I’d love to hear about your personal experiences, recommendations and any competitions that you think are really worth entering. Thanks in advance and happy diving!

Hi everyone, I’m interested in the Canon EOS R50 and would like to know if anyone in this community has hands-on experience using this camera for underwater photography or video. Has anyone used the R50 in an underwater housing? If so, I’d be very interested to hear about your experiences. How does it perform underwater, particularly in terms of image quality, autofocus, video capabilities and overall handling? Which underwater housings are available and would you recommend for this camera? I’d especially appreciate real-world experiences, sample photos or videos, and any recommendations from divers who have actually used the R50 underwater. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences! Happy diving!

Hi everyone, I’m planning to spend at least one week in Fakarava South, French Polynesia, and would love to hear some recent feedback and recommendations from divers who have been there recently. First of all, are there any updates regarding the dive sites in the southern part of Fakarava? Have there been any changes to the diving locations, conditions, dive operations or overall experience in recent years? I’m also interested in hearing about the dive centre with accommodation located right at the southern end of the atoll. I have come across some rather negative reviews and feedback in the past. Has anything improved recently, or is the general experience still disappointing? Finally, if you were planning to spend at least 7 days in Fakarava South, where would you recommend staying? Is it best to book accommodation directly in the south, or are there better options for combining accommodation and diving? I’d particularly appreciate recent first-hand experiences, recommendations for reliable dive operators and tips on where to stay to get the most out of a longer visit. Thanks a lot for your help and happy diving!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for information about liveaboard dive trips in the Bahamas that combine Bimini and Tiger Beach in one itinerary. Does anyone know if there are currently any other liveaboard boats offering 7-day or 10-day trips that include both destinations? As far as I know, there are only two established boats that have been running these trips for years. Are there any new operators, boats or itineraries available, or is the choice still limited to those two boats? I’d be particularly interested in any recent updates, personal experiences or recommendations. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, I’m interested in getting some information about great white shark diving. First of all, does anyone know the current situation regarding Guadalupe Island in Mexico? The island has been closed to great white shark cage diving for some time now. Does anyone know how long the closure is expected to last? Have there been any recent updates, changes or signs that the area might reopen? Secondly, I’m interested in alternative destinations around the world where you can encounter great white sharks underwater. Apart from Guadalupe, are there any other good locations where you can experience great white sharks in their natural environment, ideally with opportunities for underwater photography and filming? I’d love to hear about your personal experiences, recommendations and any information you might have. Thanks in advance and happy diving!

Yes, you’re both right. So, without light.!!

incredible, super good

Thx so much 🤟🏻

Here are some of my favorite underwater photos. Happy to hear your feedback and constructive criticism.”

Hi everyone, I’m thinking about getting a Canon cinema camera for underwater video work and would love to hear your experiences. Has anyone used the Canon C80, C70, or C400 underwater, especially in blue water and when filming larger marine animals like sharks, whales, or big fish? I’m curious about real-world video quality, autofocus performance on moving animals, low light behavior, underwater housing options, and which of these cameras you would recommend for serious underwater cinematography. If you were investing in a dedicated underwater cinema setup, which one would you choose and why? I’d appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!”

“Hi everyone, has anyone here done diving or snorkeling in Antarctica, especially with seals or other animals? I’d love to hear about your experiences, especially photography tips and safety advice. Thanks!”

Hi everyone, I’m planning some blue-water underwater shoots with big fish and maybe sharks, and I’d love to hear your experience. What camera settings, lighting setups or safety tips would you recommend for open blue water, especially around larger animals? Thanks a lot in advance!”

Recommendations? Post: Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for high-quality underwater video lights, mainly for blue water filming and encounters with large pelagic wildlife such as sharks, whales and other big fish. I’m particularly interested in lights that offer high light output, a wide beam angle, excellent color rendering, good performance in blue water and reliable battery life. I’d love to hear about your personal experiences and which video lights you would recommend for this kind of underwater filming. Thanks in advance for your advice and recommendations.

Hi everyone, I’m planning two exciting underwater wildlife photography adventures for 2027. February – Maldives, Big pelagic encounters and amazing opportunities to photograph large marine life. May – Mauritius, a special opportunity to encounter and photograph sperm whales underwater. Just sharing in case anyone would be interested in joining. Feel free to send me a private message.

Hi, I use the Canon R5 Mark II in an Isotta housing with the 15-35 2.8 and a 9-inch dome. From a diver’s perspective, the controls are easy to handle, the build feels solid, and the image quality is outstanding, especially for wide-angle shots of marine life. Does anyone here have tips on avoiding dome reflections or on maintenance after dives?”

Hi all, I recently started filming underwater with the Canon R5 Mark II, in an Isotta housing with a 9-inch glass dome. The build quality feels solid, and the controls are easy to reach even in gloves.

Hello everyone, I would like to share my experience with the Canon EOS R5 Mark II, which I use for underwater photography and videography. I have been extremely impressed with this camera underwater. The image quality is outstanding, the autofocus is reliably precise, and the 4K video is fantastic for underwater filmmaking. I am using the Canon RF 15-35 2.8 L IS USM in an Isotta underwater housing with a 9-inch glass dome port. I am particularly interested in wide-angle underwater photography and video, capturing marine life, sharks, and beautiful underwater landscapes. I would love to connect with other underwater photographers and videographers here and exchange experiences about equipment, lenses, dome ports, and underwater video techniques. Looking forward to learning from this community. Best regards.

I am interesed in wildlife and underwater photography. I use a Canon R5 Mark I and enjoy filming marine life. I am looking forward to learning from this community.
