1. A method of capturing sequential underwater image data of a scene for use in an underwater survey, the method operating in an underwater imaging system comprising a light module, an image processing module, a camera module, and a sequential imaging module, the light module comprising a plurality of light classes each light class having one or more light sources, wherein the steps of the method comprise: the camera module capturing a sequence of images of the scene, where the scene is illuminated by one or more of the light classes of the light module; the sequential imaging module controlling the operational parameters of the light module to adjust lighting parameters between individual image captures; and the image processing module concatenating the individual images to form a set of images that are related to each other.
