.....the lifeguards think I'm an absolute freak after I .......

I understand this well. I get the same look during "experiments" at the local pool!!!

Not sure why, but I'm just getting a box that says "attached thumbnail" with no image or link, in both Firefox and <shudder> IE. Could you email it to me at kb8rnu@yahoo.com if convenient?

I'm hoping to make a prettier and more streamlined version of mine this winter - this one was a crash development program started in March, and I have a trip coming in August.

Jason,

Not sure why no thumbnail? I'll send via e-mail.

Jason,
See my first shots at: http://www.chuckelliot.com/kauai_scuba.htm Most times the flash didn't fire, but see the difference between the 2 turtle shots!

I don't notice a difference between the two turtle photos.
Am I missing something?

I used a Pelican case and sealed it with silicon.

How do you "unseal" it to change batteries/bulbs?

Have you guys seen this setup?

The turtle from above had the flash fire. Note the brown of the shell vs the blueish of the turtle facing you. Minor I admit!

Getting the damn flash apart was its downfall - xacto blade and fingers to peal silicon.
Bad idea! New one is going to have o-ring system.
