Mediterranean underwater photography guide

The Mediterranean Sea is not an obvious photographic location. Although the region can claim to be the seat of civilisation and the countries bordering the Med are culturally diverse; there is little variation in diving from one location to another. Typically the Vis is good (100') but the marine life is generally small and not very abundant. Macro photography is not good and wide angle is scenic. There are some good wrecks, particularly the Zenobia, a car ferry sunk at Larnaca, Cyprus. Seasonal changes are slight.
