ABSTRACT

The environment and its protection is, quite rightly, high on everyone’s agenda these days. This includes concern for the seas, their myriads of species and the coral reefs. Many codes of conduct and environmental articles about photo diving also emphasise the need to avoid touching the reef as much as possible, and to take care with ‘this and that’. Rarely do they tell you how you should achieve this in practice. It is not easy to get cameras and flash guns close in to the reef to photograph small subjects.
