So as the title says, I went to Ten Mile to try out a new 8mm fisheye lens (no-name brand). It gives a 180-degree angle of view so that's about as wide as a lens gets. This is great for faking good visibility. On this dive, vis was only about 15 feet, but you wouldn't know it from the photos. The only problem is that the lens is so wide, you can see the edges of the dome port in the corners of the photos. I'll have to try and reposition the camera in the housing to see if I can minimise that. I also tried out some new home-made dry gloves. They worked great. -No leaks so far. I also tried out some old Force Fins I had lying around, just for fun. It actually wasn't that fun. I felt like I wasn't wearing fins at all. I had to swim with my arms half the time, just to feel like I was moving forward. It's a good thing there wasn't any current.
