Excerpts from Jeff Goodman’s Book Action Camera Underwater Video Basics, Part 2 of 6: Underwater Lights & Lighting

Good underwater lighting improves your video quality. Invest in higher-quality lights for better options and power control. Over-lighting close subjects can ruin shots, so balance the light with the natural surroundings. LED lights are now favored because they match daylight and restore colors absorbed by water. Your light’s range is limited, so don’t hold it too close to your subject.
