Caverns and Cenotes Underwater Camera Settings

Caverns and cenotes are underwater environments that still have fairly direct access to the surface of the water allowing the beautiful natural light to stream in. These photographs are typically dramatic silhouettes, often with light rays dancing around your subject. These settings will get you started in dark environments when only a small amount of ambient light is shining in. WhereMexico, Florida, and all over the world.
