All the scientific studies that make use of deep sea photography enable us to harness the wealth of the oceans to meet our economic needs.

Underwater cameras are distinct from the ones that are used for photographing objects on the land.

A photographer is able to capture photos of even dangerous creatures which have stinging tentacles that are poisonous to the touch by using protective gear and wide angle zoom lenses adapted to conditions under the water. Computerized automatic cameras that have autofocus features and set their own controls are also used in underwater locations inaccessible to humans such as the ocean floor and the underwater trench.
