Anyone know how buoyant the Sea Life cameras are. I'm thinking about getting the DC 800 Pro set.
It comes with the standard camera housing and a single external flash. I was wondering if I need to get a weight system for it as well. There's no LDS that deals in sealife.
Thanks in advance.

I have the dc 1000 maxx which is the same thing with two strobes. I have the weight kit on it which consists of a small weight and a longer thumb screw. It makes my camera almost perfectly neutrally buoyant. In short, I bought it and am glad I have it.

When you say almost perfectly buoyant, do you mean it is slightly negative or slightly positive?
Does the strobes add positive buoyancy?
How's the camera alone without the strobes?
Thanks in advance. Sorry if I'm just grilling you with questions
