Underwater Macro Diopter Lenses

Macro lenses and diopters are magnifying lenses that can be used externally during a dive. They will allow closer focusing, to also make the subject larger in the frame.

Used with a macro lens or setting, they can allow you to back off and still achieve the same magnification level, but allow getting light on the subject. Most are 67mm threaded. Lens adapters can be used on a larger lens to put it on a smaller port. A must for every underwater photographer!

Review: Big Blue CB15000P 15,000 Lumen COB Light

Want to Light up a Whale?

Can a single very powerful continuous underwater video light work well for stills of large animals? As the quality and output of video lights have increased, I’ve been asking myself that question.

We know that many continuous lights can work fine for macro and closer up images, although they tend to give a softer look than strobes. Strobes output a single, very high and very short energy burst of light at high intensity, this freezes detail and gives better color saturation. Lights simply can’t to do that as well. But many still photographers find that they do work well, especially when shooting both video and more casual stills.
