Hi Larry, Great topic and great that you were able to fix the problem! I've been building and using professional housings for nearly 25 years and have used when needed the Micromesh Polishing kits for aircraft windscreens. Theese kits come with clothbacked wet and dry abrasive sheets from...

What about the Patima Housing? I'll swear the one sitting on my desk has a TTL capabilities

Hey Mike could you get some info to me as well about the trip next year as I am very interested as well! Peter E

Not wishing to hijack this thread as I feel there has been plenty of input as to the type of mask to use, but what the heck do you people think a buddy is for! We have one poster saying that they can hold your dive light and be there at your beck and call and another who says their DB is 3ft...

Capt dave, Forget about the Ansmann batteries and go with the eneloop Sanyo 2000 cells. 16 Pack New Version SANYO ENELOOP AAA 800 mAh Low Discharge Batteries These have been proven time and again to be the best batteries for the high demand applications we use as underwater photographers...

Hi happysnapper, Like you, I am a pro photographer and have at my disposal a large array of medium format and dSLR cameras and lenses. 18 months ago I started looking for a P&S compact to carry with me for location scouting and set assesment tasks. I settled on the Canon G10 (G11...

Hi Dave, Seems like you have put a lot of thought into your system and I think your on the right path. The S95 is not my choice of camera, but to each their own I say! As to the WAL issue you will hear a lot of pros and cons from all perspective of the argument so I'll put mine in first and...

Also guys it is possible to hire purpose built high voltage underwater lighting in the USA from PACE. They have a full range of lighting up to 8k HMI or 10k Tungsten! Peter

Hi Guys, Having worked in the professional film industry for over twenty years (most of that as an underwater gaffer) I can tell you that the current could be fatal if you happened to be hanging on to the wrong thing at the wrong time. 10ms CGFI's are the industry norm when working around...

Try the G11/12 Patima housings! Although it will blow your budget out of the water and then some but they are rated to 300+ ft!

Hi BB1, I bought my housing and flash from Divervision about 18 months ago and a second flash from him about 12 months ago and although they took a bit of time with the housing it was only because of nill stock and the delays in getting more from Korea. The flash units were in stock and...

Osprey Reef is the Bomb!!! Great shots!

Like I've said before on this thread I don't believe that the OEM housings are in the same league as specialist housings but they can and are used to take some great photos down to reasonable depths!(Have a look at Gilligans photos for examples) Try finding any infomation on the Canon OEM...

And a couple more!

These were from my August 2010 Trip to the Ribbon reefs of the GBR. The weather was pretty ordinary but we still managed to dive twice a day at least. The boat is the MV Pheonix which is run out of Port Douglas in Australia by Bianca Charters. Great Crew and a great boat!

One of the main things to consider here is that the Canon housing is primarily designed and made for consumers who want to take their camera into and around the water to shoot holiday snaps whilst snorkeling at those exotic tropical locations or the occasional shots of the kids in the pool (Yes...

As for finding examples of these cameras, have a look back through the last few months on this forum and you will see plenty of both! Peter
