Macro photography is one of the most rewarding and easiest forms of underwater photography. A good eye and an understanding of the animal you want to photograph is needed to find the small creatures that are often well hidden. The idea of macro photography is to capture the subject at actual or larger than life size.  

Shooting macro forces us to slow down and observe the endless photo opportunities that surround us while diving. It is not uncommon for discerning underwater macro photographers to confine an entire dive to a small piece of reef due to ample macro opportunities within close proximity to one another.
