For those of us who just want a fantastic-looking set of holiday snaps to semi-professionals honing their craft, a slew of apps is available for every taste and budget to help you get the most from your photos.


Getting the shot right “in camera”, with no post-processing, usually takes a great investment in training, time, and equipment.īut there is an easier (and much cheaper) solution. My own first experiences were decidedly underwhelming. I can almost guarantee that this won’t be a far cry from the first experiences of anyone who has attempted to turn their hand to underwater photography. Sometimes under-exposed, sometimes over-exposed, they are not a patch on the vivid colours and stark contrast that you remembered so clearly. Examples of what can be done with white balance adjustment, in this case using the Dive+ app. Your dream pictures are shot after shot of blue, blue and more blue. Settling down over a well-earned post-dive drink, you pull out your laptop, insert the card and… nothing. With the memories safely tucked away on your memory card, this will be a story for your future grandchildren, and to finally cement your hero status at the local pub. Amid the buzz, you are silently thanking Neptune that this dive was the one on which you remembered to bring your camera.
