🐢🌊”Exploring the deep blue with some of my favorite companions. Shooting underwater can be a tricky world to navigate, where understanding both your camera system and the environment you are working in is absolutely crucial. For the last 6 years, Sony camera systems have been my go to for all my underwater work. Between the lightning fast autofocus of the G-master lenses and the high megapixels, Sony bodies like the A7R IV, I can feel confident getting in the water knowing I have the gear that fits my needs to ensure I can capture beautiful moments like this without missing the shot.
One of my biggest pieces of advice to photographers wanting to try out underwater photography for the first time is to make sure they set their autofocus to Continuous AF, that way you’re able to ensure that as your subject moves around Underwater your focus stays sharp the whole time.” — @maxblakesberg .

Mother Nature stopped by to say hello
These spotted eagle rays swam by our boat at the very end of an unreal morning shooting tiger sharks off the North shore. I'm pretty sure I'd even gotten out of my wetsuit by then and had to scramble to get back in the water (albeit with no fins or wetty) to fire off a few shots before they swam off.
One of the few encounters I've had with rays in the water but without a doubt one of the most memorable experiences I've had diving.
