Hi All,

I'm a relatively new diver who is just getting into UW photography. I'm in Alberta Canada, and looking to get some lights for my TG5 and olympus housing. 

Hello, my name is Ricardo Gomes, I am a marine biologist and I have been filming the bottom of the sea in Rio de Janeiro for over 20 years. Now we have a project to protect the endangered rays from our coast. We have an NGO, Instituto Mar Urbano (www.institutomarurbano.com.br & @institutomarurbano). I need to find a waterhousing for a GH4 or Gh5. Thank you!

I have been lurking on these forums for a few months - thanks for all the useful information.

Hi, I'm Jason. I've been diving for over 10 years now, but have only shot casual video with various GoPro cameras. I'm finally looking to get a real camera setup that I can travel with and use locally here in Southern California. I am hoping to learn from and become part of the community here.

Hello everybody 

My name is Yazid,  I am currently located in Muscat, Oman. 

I dive regularly every weekend and shoot UW photos using Olympus TG6.

Currently closing in on a decision to upgrade my UW rig system and have narrowed my choices to FF using Nikon D850 (Hugyfot/Nauticam housing) and Olympus OM D E1 Miii in Nauticam  housing. 

Look forward to be an active member of this vibrant community. 

Hi

I'm Phil, living in Zurich, Switzerland. I have been diving for almost 13 years, since 5 years doing instructions. Last year, I took the rebreather-course and am absolutely excited!

I've been taking pictures since 2011 using Olympus MFT, but will shortly do a step-up to a mirrorless fullframe. I am running a small website for showcasing: uwpix.ch

Hope to find and give some good and useful tips + tricks for successfully shooting great images!

Hi there from Thailand.

Heya Everyone,

I'm a SoCal diver currently taking my IDC course and looking to improve my underwater videography skills. I currently shoot on a TG5 with a Kraken 5000s+ light.

Best fishes,

Hello my friends, here picosierra from Canary Island. 

Hi all, I am a fish biologist living in the United States and have been interested in underwater photography for several years. I have learned, and continue to learn, an incredible amount from this site. I joined a few years ago but this is my first post as I am finally feeling the need to ask some questions of my own. I only snorkel in freshwater rivers and primarily photograph the various fish species we have here, although I do take pictures of bugs, salamanders, crayfish, etc. as I encounter them but they are not my primary target. 

I am looking forward to learning more and maybe one day I can contribute to the wealth of knowledge here. 

Cheers,

Nick

Hi, Wayne W here. A Marine Bio friend suggested I join Wetpixel since I am getting back into UW photography after being out of it for about 6 years which were spent in the Mediterranean. Now we are in the Caribbean. Previously I spent 23 years in the dive industry in Australia mainly on the GBR with occasional trips to PNG, Solomons and even Western Australia. I am now retired and live full time on our sailing yacht and plan to take about a further 5 years to get back to Australia. Luckily we have a dive compressor on board as well as all the other gear. Looking forward to picking some members brains for information and who knows, ultimately may even be able to contribute at some stage.   

Hi,

I live in Orange County, CA and I dive all over the world with almost 2000 dives.  I was a long time diver at the Long Beach Aquarium until Covid hit.  

My first UW camera was a Sea and Sea MX10 that I used in the Galapagos.  My pictures were horrible.  I upgraded to the Olympus C-5050 which I still have. Then the Sony point and shoot which the image stabilization started shaking.  Moved back to the Olympus platform to the XZ-1 and the OMD EM-1 M1.   Hope to upgrade to the EM-1 Mark III  very soon. 

Knock on wood, I have never had a flood.
