Underwater photography has stunned a lot of people, even non-divers. The current underwater photography trend is the so called Macro Photography. It’s a photography technique that makes small objects look larger than their life size. This technique enables divers to reveal sea creatures’ shapes and stunning colors in detail. So before you dive, make sure to ask your guide to show you where to take macro subjects.

Frogfish: The king of camouflage, lie and wait predator, and one of the best subjectS when it comes to macro photography. Another challenge for you is to grab the camouflage pattern of this fish. Our suggestion is to add strobes or lights to your camera.
