    hi @robink23

    I agree with Federico, the best next step would be to add a strobe.

    Whilst you could keep on shooting ambient-light only with your fisheye, assuming you’re working close to the surface, you’re ultimately limiting a lot what you can shoot.

    Like you said, a macro lens won’t do much good if you don’t have a strobe.

    A lot of underwater photography’s challenges/complexity comes from using a strobe… but you won’t be over-whelmed for long, because you’re part of The Underwater Club 😉 I suggest you go through the Lighting course, and feel free to use the forums for any questions.
