Cuttlefish like to hide in the reef with their excellent camouflage. Position the camera below the fish, with a shooting angle upwards toward the surface, for best contrast in the image. Be as calm as possible so the animal swims closer towards you for a nice shot.

Equipment: iPhone 14 Pro Max in a SeaLifeSportDiver housing,1x iPhone lens with SeaDragon 2500F photo/video light.
