Abstract: The major difficulties of subject lighting under water, selective absorption and selective scattering, are overcome by using an equipment with an artificial light source set at the shortest possible distance from the subject. This paper describes such an equipment and discusses the engineering considerations of pressure and corrosion resistance, balancing, hydrostatics, streamlining, etc., that influenced its design. It considers optical problems in connection with absorption and scattering between subject and camera, and special underwater complementary lenses. Both daylight picture taking and artificial lighting are dealt with. The torpedo, its principle, light source, power supply, controls, propulsion and engineering are shown. Experiences and results described are based on 120 dives under water.
