It's not the gear - winner of British Society of Underwater Photographers does it with a Canon compact

“It’s a Canon S90,” said Ms Campbell. “It wouldn’t even be the latest model and would retail for about a couple of hundred quid.” A professional SLR camera costs at least €1,000.  
As a “keen amateur” who practises wildlife photography and scuba diving in her time off from managing a clothes shop in Dublin, cost was a big factor in deciding to go with a compact.

Sometimes, she admitted, using the cheaper camera can be frustrating but “in some cases it’s technique and composition that has more to do with [a photograph] than what camera took the image”.
