Whats the current thinking on proper rig for a camera? With strobes and macro my Nikonos V is about as streamlined as a brick (worse actually).
Any thoughts?

I would imagine that if you are going to be into serious photography and the mental focus that this requires, that you would need TWO non-photographer buddies. Even in open water, a guy with his nose in the viewfinder waiting for the jawfish to come out of its hole doesn't count as a buddy.vlada:I am yet to figure out how do i do penetrations with it while running the reel (following is not a problem)-i am thinking i need a non-photographer buddy for that.
Ahhhhh. But is he the typical nose-in-the-hole and oblivious-to-the world photographer? :happywaved33ps1x:I'd say Vlada already counts as a serious photographer and diver.
vlada:A lot of people tend to think about all photographers as solo divers - but we are not all the same
My #1 buddy is a serious photographer as well and so far, the team work got us further, literally, and in terms of end results, then either of us would have been able to do solo.
The location helps i guess - wrecks pics w/o divers in them don't have meaning, so we alternate by being the models to each other.
nkw5:It's hard to be a good buddy and concentrate on photography. For me, for the time being, I settle on being an attentive buddy who sometimes drags a TEENY bit who takes so-so pics most of the time and occasionally gets lucky. No National Geographics shots for me.
