Testing a New Camera Underwater

Testing a new underwater camera setup — Testing a new camera

Breaking in a New Underwater Camera

During the pandemic, I decided to invest in a new underwater camera system: the Panasonic GH5 in a Nauticam housing. I’ll get into why I chose this setup in a future post.

This was one of the first images I captured with the new rig in Mexico.

This Stoplight Parrotfish was trying to blend in with a school of grunts, and it made for a moment I didn’t want to miss.

My first underwater test with the Panasonic GH5 was in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, while diving with Wet Set Diving Adventures. You can also see my full underwater camera setup here.
