Scuba Diving With the New SeaLife DC 2000 Underwater Camera

Cruising Along
The sandbar sharks gave us plenty of opportunities to try out SeaLife's newest underwater camera.

We recently got a chance to play with SeaLife's newest underwater camera, the DC 2000. We took it scuba diving at a local aquarium where our staff and the aquarium divers spent the day getting to know the camera and taking some great underwater photographs.

The DC 2000 is SeaLife's most advanced underwater camera. One thing that really stood out to us was the ability to shoot in manual mode and in RAW. This gives underwater photographers the ability to fine-tune their images, but doesn't sacrifice the user-friendly piano keys that SeaLife is known for. While none of our divers that day would profess to being professional underwater photographers, the ability to easily color-correct our RAW images made our images really pop! Check out some of our favorites down below.
