Hi Folks,

Here are a few photos from a day trip to Egmont. I really need to get back there with the macro lens!

Hi Dale,

I shoot with a Canon 30D - it's an 8 MP DSLR (if you're not familiar with Canon) I bought in 2006. I got an Ikelite housing for it in March 2008. Here's a photo of the rig, minus the camera.

The strobe is the newer one from Ikelite - the DS-160, essentially an upgraded model of the highly successful and widely used DS-125.

Thanks also for the kind comment on the photos.

Thanks to fooks and mustang_51 for the generous comments - I appreciate the feedback!

Were you right in the narrows or shore diving in Egmont?

We were boat diving and so had access to the narrows. It was late in the day and we were losing light fast by the time we got to the narrows (3rd dive of the day), so only one 45 minute dive there.
