Thanks, Alison. Brian is a dive buddy here and he takes some mean macro shots as you can see from his blog. I am still in the point n' shoot division with my Oly C-8080. I hope to get a housing for my DSLR soon!!

Great pictures.
How have you connected up the strobes?
I have just purchased an 8080 / PT023 and am looking into strobe options.
Thanks

Victor, thanks. You can get the bulkhead adapter for use with Ikelite DS 125 strobes from Matthias here:

Great shots Nick.

You have to love muck diving.

Some of the weirdest creatures I have ever seen diving were while muck diving in Bali.

Sorry for the confused identity. The fact that you are shooting with a prosumer and not DSLR gives me greater hope - I presume you are using a macro lens with the Oly 8080 - or is it just the camera?

No worries, Alison. Yes, I use the onboard supermacro function. There is no macro wet lens for the Olympus housing that I know of. The lens port is the diameter of a desert plate, so I doubt there will be one anytime soon.
