Use Flash as Secondary Source of Light As mentioned earlier shooting near the surface enables you to take advantage of natural light whilst shooting in deeper levels. When shooting in deep waters it becomes mandatory to turn on the flash. The flash light acts as the primary source of visibility in deep waters. Even when using the flash as the primary source of light, make sure that the subject is not directly illuminated by flash as this may result in back-scattering. You can however avoid back-scattering by using external flash. Position the external flash away from the lens to avoid back-scatter. Flash is prominently required in underwater photography to bring out the wonderful colors and to freeze the movement. However using the flash as primary source of light helps you in focusing on the subject while the background is eliminated off the scene taking away the sense of the place. Thus use the flash as the complimenting source of light or a much better workaround is to use two external flashes.
