Split shots, also called half-in, half-out or over-under shots, are loved because they blend what's above and below water. Picture an island with palm trees and fish swimming beneath, or someone diving in. These shots make holiday scenes more exciting by showing two worlds at once.

Capturing stunning split shots involves careful attention to detail, especially when it comes to managing the water line. Here's a simpler breakdown to help you nail those underwater masterpieces:

Start by selecting an 8" dome or even a larger dome for your camera housing. This larger dome size helps create a smoother transition at the waterline, giving you better image quality both above and below the surface. Combine it with a super wide-angle or fisheye lens capable of focusing closely, typically around 30 cm or closer. This setup ensures you capture the entire scene in stunning detail.
