Once upon a time, diving was once considered a local tyrant's sport, research burns money, equipment burning money, diving tourism burning money ... ... must be local tyrants to play diving?

That may not be the case. Diving is actually a matter of abundance. For economically-appropriate divers, as long as you do a good job before you travel, find the most cost-effective dive sites and submersible stores, spend the least money, and sneak out the harvest. It is not difficult. Set aside cheap airline tickets six months to a year in advance and collect a large amount of Raiders online. Ask all major diving forums and communities to find the most cost-effective dive sites and have a good experience for a few days.

The diving circle said that "three generations of poor diving, photography destroyed a lifetime", underwater photography is such a no return! Thousands of thousands of devices are just a child's play... just to be able to chase sharks, turtles, and slap storms underwater! Look at people’s local tyrants

Let's take a look at my first water camera (Canon 5DII+ Waterproof Case)... It's good to stay in the sea for a long time without immersing in the water. Snorkeling can be used. Do not say it, tears are more.

Look at its performance in Sabah. . . I can only sigh ~~~

After returning, I couldn't forget that dark blue, and I thought that before I went out to sea again, I had to get a decent water camera.

=========================================== Split Line===== ======================================

LV1: waterproof camera

Preferred SLR, the film is good, but the waterproof shell is expensive and slightly out of stock, 5dII can use the waterproof shell starting price will be small four thousand, expensive ... OUT!.


Waterproof card machines (including gopro) basically do not take into consideration, and use the rate of single-card opposition cards is not hopeful.

The final phase of the micro-single, because of its large ccd can shoot raw format, the film effect is close to the SLR. The most important thing is that the price is cheap. I have gotten this Sony NEX5n at 1,050 RMB on a spare fish. Only 3700 shots are available for the shutter.) X Xeon's NEX5n waterproof case is relatively old due to its model, so the price is relatively low at around 600.



LV2: underwater flash

One of the essential accessories, there is a huge difference between lights and no lights, needless to say, play photography understand. Focus on why you need an external flash!

The biggest problem under water is that the built-in flash flashes the float in front of the lens, causing many white spots, as shown below.

To compare the film with the external light shooter, is it a lot clean!

The external flash has unparalleled advantages over the built-in flash. However, the price of a professional dive flash light simply makes me the working class afraid to look directly! The basic model of the YS-01 is also about 2300. If you want to play a dual lamp with the root line, 5K will be gone. ...NO!


Only another way, since the camera can use waterproof shell, then ordinary flash can also use the shell to the sea. Through a potential friend's recommendation, in my large X treasure to find Shenniu CF-18 this cargo and its special waterproof shell suit, only 300 sets, and the brightness and the above are 20 flash finger. Watching the test video can be easily down to more than 30 meters. Even if there is a mistake, a change of light will be more than 50 yuan. It does not feel bad.


LV3: diving photography bracket

With the camera, with the lights, the rest is the stand.

Double grip tray + extension arm + adapter fittings, from one thousand to several thousand (summary: as long as the stick to "diving" word is pit!)

So continue to treasure in my X treasure, took out the following accessories, the total price was only tens of dollars.





Together with the 1/4 single layer hot shoe screw and the crossarm for sending the flash, the simple processing combination will be done!

With this cheap yet water-quality photo equipment, I have a great sense of accomplishment.

Attach the list:


Used sony nex5n (1600 pixels) 18-55 machine sets ..................1050 yuan

Metco nex5n Waterproof Shell ................................................600 yuan

Shenniu CF-18 flash + special waterproof shell 2 sets ................................600 yuan

Photo Stand .........................................................100

Total price: 2350

Conclusion: The entire downtime process is based on the basis of cheap, personal effects of the film is still quite satisfactory, looking forward to next year's Xianben that can make a B-size film. If you are not bad money, you can directly come to a SLR package plus lights, it is estimated that you can win around 5W. But 5% of the price can play 80% of the feeling, no matter what you think, anyway, I think the value!
