About Underwater Strobes
An underwater flash is called a strobe and is very commonly used in underwater photography.
Here are the main advantages of using a strobe underwater:
1) ADD LIGHT - The water itself and the floating particles in them absorb the light from the sun causing much lower light underwater that above even in sunny days. A strobe simply adds synthetic light to the image.
2) ADD COLORS - The water acts as a blue filter , absorbing reds , yellow and warm colors causing images to be blueish and greyish. By using a strobe , you would add a broad spectrum light , simliar to the sun close to the object causing the real colors to be reflected back to your camera. The result is vibrant color photos.
3) REDUCE BACKSCATTER - As the water is usually filled with small particles , using the cameras built in flash causes the light from it to be reflected back from these particles to the cameras lenses. This will result in grainy and unclear images. By using an external strobes , the flash is lighting the scene from above or below causing these relflections to be in another direction and not facing the cameras lens.
