Underwater Photography
Discovering the World Under the Sea
By Lydia Harris
One of the biggest attractions in the Caribbean is what lies below the surface of the sea. Teeming with plant life, coral and fish, the clear waters surrounding the Virgin Islands present an inviting canvas for undersea photographers.
Whether you simply want to take home a few snapshots or are a serious photographer, you won’t be disappointed with the variety of subject matter. You will, however, have different requirements in terms of skill and equipment.
Snorkelers can get some great photographs of coral, fish, sea urchins and the like, but won’t be able to get shots of some of the more spectacular life and colors below the surface. For that, diving is required.



As another beautiful Virgin Island day dissolves into a wonderful tropical night, high in the western night sky you can look for the red planet Mars. Mars is seen against the background of stars of the constellation Gemini, the Twins. Two bright stars, Castor and Pollux, mark the heads of the twin brothers.
