Calibration Colour Swatch for Underwater Photography and Teaching
This colour calibration swatch is the ideal tool for diving instructors and underwater photographers. It includes standard color boxes, black and white areas for white balance and color measurement adjustments. In underwater environments where water filters and mutes individual colors, the card serves as a reference point for maintaining color fidelity and for visually demonstrating how colors are lost with depth.
- Waterproof Material: Designed for use underwater and in harsh conditions (no rusting components)
- Color Boxes: Contains the basic colors: black, white, red, pink, orange, yellow, green, purple, and blue
- Educational Use: Perfect for instructors to show their students how colors fade or change hue with depth
- Photographic Uses: Allows you to create a "reference shot" at the beginning of a dive to properly set the white balance and then adjust colors in post-production (shoot RAW recommended).
- Practical Uses: Leave the color in the frame shortly before the main shot, or insert it into the scene for color comparison
Note: Remember that long-wavelength colors (reds, oranges) are already absorbed in water at shallower depths - so the reference color helps eliminate color shift when moving away from the subject or changing depths.
Go confidently underwater - and keep your images and lessons colour correct!
