The most asked question I get is 'What camera do you use'? So heres the answer, and then some!
I would describe my camera kit as mid-range. Somewhere between beginner and intermediate and by no means a professional set up. In the spirit of honesty, I am looking to upgrade to get a little more sharpness and responsiveness (aren't we all...) but for now I love the gear I have, and I'll work with what I've got!

Here I've laid out (& linked) the equipment that I use above and below water (spoiler - I use 2 very different set ups), as well as the most important gear I bring along while travelling/shooting.
Cameras & Lenses
Body: Nikon D7500
Lenses: 35mm f/1.8 & 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3
Underwater Set-up
Body: Sony NEX7
Lenses: 16mm f/2.8 + Fisheye converter
Housing: Nauticam + Dome port

Accessories
Backpack: Wandrd PRVKE 21L Black
Tripod: Compact tripod (for travel)
Straps: Quick release wrist strap
Some extra bonus items I've gathered over the years that make my life easier include spare batteries, external hard-drives and a Cloud photo storage subscription.
