With age, it might become more difficult for one to read camera displays and other related display information while diving with an underwater photo or video system, especially when using cameras that do not have a built-in viewfinder that is adaptable for visual impairment.
In a study, which monitored the surface behaviour of white sharks during cage-diving activities around Guadalupe Island in Mexico, researchers observed a variety of behaviours as well as the role of an individual shark’s length and maturity on whether or not it caught the bait offered during these encounters. The relative size of sharks also played an important part in social interactions between individuals, with smaller sharks giving way to larger ones, even if the smaller shark arrived first on the scene.
With diving safety and comfort for underwater photographers in mind, Jon Anderson has designed a universal ball mount, which allows one to attach the popular Shearwater Teric dive computer to any underwater camera housing.
In case you like to sip your cocktails while shooting underwater images or videos, or if circumstances do not allow one a safe dive, an underwater drone might be a possible solution.
