I'm Laurie from Tucson, Arizona and San Carlos, Mexico. I began diving in 2009 and started underwater photography several months later. My equipment is a Canon EOS 70D in a Nauticam housing with an Inon D-2000 and Z-330 strobe. I use three different lenses (Canon 60 and 100 mm macro and Tokia 10-17 mm fisheye) and a Nauticam SMC-1 and SMC-2. I also use a Retra snoot and a Kraken 3500 focus light.
