Fast becoming my favourite form of Underwater Photography.

The Super Macro Category is for those creatures under 5mm.

A 90mm macro lens with either a +15 or +23.5 close up wet lens is used for these tiny creatures.

This allows the camera to be placed extremely close to the subject.

Tiny Nudibranch’s, Crab’s, Shrimp’s and Seahorse’s are popular with Super Macro photographers.

A flat port dome is used, along with either a single or dual strobe for lighting.

If the creature sits still for long enough, a light shaping device such as a snoot (or spotlight) can be used for creative effect.
