Travel Diary: Amed Indonesia - My first jump into Underwater Photography

As most of you know, I’m a pretty big nerd when it comes to scuba diving and love hunting for the small and weird. I’ve been hesitant to even go down the road of underwater photography because I know how expensive that road is going to be, but I borrowed a little Olympus tg-4 from a friend of mine and played with it over the course of the last week while diving in Amed, Bali. While I’m fully aware of the limitations of this set up, just practicing with lighting was so fun. My hesitance to drop the coin on a proper housing for my camera is starting to show cracks and I’m tempted. That said, traveling light may be a thing of the past if choose to go down this road.

These images aren’t perfect…. or whatever perfect means. Some of them are a bit noisy, a channel clips here and there, some of them may not be as sharp as I’d like, but I had too much fun to not share these. I’m still a complete novice when it comes to this whole thing so here we are. If anyone has a contact at Nauticam that wants to sponsor this whole foray, let me know!
