For nice underwater shots, keep in
mind the following:

Actual Size

Apparent

size

The subject appears larger underwater

since the refractive index of water is

1.33 times as large as for air. A shoot­

ing distance between 1—3.2 m

[3.3 — 10.7 ft.], therefore, underwater

looks like a distance of between

approx. 0.75 — 2.4 m [2.5—8 ft.].

Pictures taken underwater appear
bluish. This is because water absorbs

light at longer wavelengths (i.e. red),
leaving light of shorter wavelengths
