A survey data is presented since the first attempts and the fact that early experiences with underwater photography. Data in relation to photography as video, are related to evidence that even having a closer relationship with biology, cameras produced to the aquatic environment, they presented as a tool for production of artistic material. Artistic productions working with the issue of underwater photography features or use of this environment are analyzed in their practices.
