Taking underwater photos and videos is a real pleasure because visibility is usually good, even excellent, especially outside lagoons and in passes where it can reach 50 meters plus. Be aware that the electric power the guides have with them might not be compatible with your own equipment (flash, battery charger). Don’t forget to protect them from all external factors like sun, wind, sand, salt or water. Very few diving centers have photo and video equipment for rent. Some of them have good quality disposable underwater cameras for sale.
You can have your films processed in Tahiti? However, delay may be long, and prices might be higher than in your home state. The islanders strongly recommend the greatest care when you’re shooting manta ray or a close up on the coral.
