anything man-made that is sunk including cars, tanks, planes etc. - oh and ships!
Ghiannis D a 2,9k T cargo ship in Red Sea
This picture was taken on the Thistlegorm. The hatch on the bow. No strobe.
Vapper, a very large fishing trawler, was lost during towing. Now she is the ideal playground for divers and photographers. The bow stands tall, and the towing cables that broke, now hangs down to the bottom. Image shot on Agfa Scala B&W at 1600 iso
This is one of my first pictures taken with the D70, no strobe was used but I think it just captures the feeling you get when you swim through the wreck.
Conning tower of a russian whiskey class submarine. Very similar to the german "Elektroboot" that could have changed the course of the second worldwar. Sitting intact at 38m near the island of Bornholm. Image shot on Sensia 200 with single strobe.
Inside the wreck of SS Director Reppenhagen. Long exposure, shutterspeed about 3 sec, camera was mounted on tripod. Single strobe on low setting, to get the timber on the bottom to blend in.
Going thru the debris, Michael is on a tresure hunt for souveniers. Patience pays off, when he locates the steam whistle. Image shot on Agfa Scala B&W at 1600 iso and only very little strobelight to avoid backscatter.
Humbled by the size of the anchors from the wreck of CF Liljenvalch. My buddy hovers at 55 meters, trying to grasp the dimensions of this massive wreck, that is now resting in the Baltic Sea.
Fujii Sensia 200, single strobe.
Affaire is a 112 years old wreck, still nicely preserved in the Baltic Sea. The depth was 42 meters, so I used a 1600 ISO B/W film to capture the dim light. There is only a slight touch of strobe light on the diver. Everything else is ambient light.

Johnny's buddy has a nice beam on his torch/strobe and puts it to good use
Inside the wreck of the Vendée on a sunny day. The shot was taken with long exposure and camera was mounted on a tripod. Requires really good working relations with your model, that kind of pictures takes a lot of time to getting it right.

Taken with Olympus E-20 in Titan housing with wide angle lense and two Sea&Sea YS-90 strobes in Florida, USA.

School of Yellow Jacks swimming above me at the wreck of the USS Maj Gen Rogers - St John USVI .
Rabaul Zeke. Deep and murky, but worth the effort to find this Zero almost completely intact. Rabaul, ENB, PNG. Housed Nikon F, 24mm Nikkor Lens
Wreck of the Bandak, Norway. Canon Eos 5 with 24mm.
Coral Encrusted Anchor - This anchor was so big that my strobe wouldn't cover the whole thing, so it came out mostly blue. Coverted to black and white in Photoshop. Heron Island, Australia, Nikonos V, 35mm lens.
Abu Galawa, Red Sea. Photo taken with a Nikon F90X in an Underwave Igloo housing
