Now I know why I should have tried harder with physics... if only my teacher had been a photographer!

less than US$750?

first line should read : How about a competition for UW set ups that cost <US$750 - US$1000?

Or for Natural Light UW photography. There are a lot of folks who are talented photographers, but who do not have the thousands of dollars to spend on kit, travel, or excess baggage!

This would be a great way of making this pass time more inclusive, and encourage photographers who otherwise might just give-up...

Another suggestion would be to include a 'Marine Related' section every once in a while, to give an opportunity to see some topside sea action, and promote destinations for there photogenic qualities too!

Lovely shot!

I shoot super macro (subjects 0.5cm) almost 90% of the time, and I use stacking diopters with the Sea and Sea DX1G compact camera (cost approx US$750 for camera and housing) . I have found that if I use the wet lens stacking diopters (about US$100 each) to shoot standard macro >1cm I can achieve a similar effect...

This picture was taken with natural light...

I'm still experimenting with the technique, and I hope that it will show folks with budget equipment that it is possible to 'play with light' just as much as folks with DSLRs

The very limited depth of field of the stacking diopters is actually useful in this instance!
