Maria Munn is a popular author of underwater photography books and this is her first book dedicated to users of compact cameras ideal for both beginners and advanced photographers. The Underwater photography for Compact Camera Users is a down to earth book as Maria realises that many divers can't afford high prices of SLR photography and don't want the added burden of all the extra equipment often required which may take time to lern how to use to full effect.

There are chapters including choosing your camera, how to care for equipment and understanding the various settings that eventually compose a fantastic underwater photo.
