Re: Equipment For Great White Shark Cage Dive????

Strobes - first, if in a cage, I'd think dual strobes on arms would really get in the way.   And why have dual strobes if not putting them on arms?

Second, IF the sun is out, you won't need strobes.    But you could always try some shots with the camera's strobe on, through a diffuser.    Should bring out detail in the shadows.

This shot was taken in shallow water with a Canon s95 in a Canon housing, no strobe:

If you don't have sun, you'll want a camera with good high ISO performance.
