But even she found it difficult to get in the water and immediately start taking award-winning photos. Here she shares the one tip that made things "click" and turned her underwater photography blues into gold.

Denise was shooting with the Olympus Tough TG-6 camera in an Ikelite underwater housing with two DS51 flashes in TTL mode with RC1 TTL receivers.
