Everything depends on you! If your happy with snap shots or want farm-able hang on your wall pictures? What are your computer skills and how big is your budget? So much has changed in just a few years including the New Sea Life and the lighting, which LED has really stepped it up, so that even snap shot shooters are getting some great shots.... Your dive skills are just as important as your camera when getting good photos!

Good luck and keep snapping
