Holy Metridium, Batman!

... and 36 shots/dive (or dive-day if one is squeamish about opening the camera in-the-field)

Given I almost never finish a roll on a dive, no problem.
Given that the RS is much less fiddly about being opened than a housing, no problem.

And I forgot: highly accurate TTL flash.

Now, don't get me wrong: I really recommend people starting out go digital. The instant
feed back will make you a better photographer quicker.

Film? They still make that stuff?!

Actually Analog still has its place in this world of ours. Personally I have moved totally to digital.

Actually i still use my film SLR, and am tempted to take my old MMII diving again. but given the amount of bad shots, taken during a dive, digital is cheeper.

True - I have thousands of vinyl records and on a good turntable you can't beat the sound, especially the bass - better than any CD I've ever heard.

You called it!
Alabaster Nudibranch (white-lined dirona) (Dirona albolineata)

And that's the first time I've seen any in person. What a treat!

Very nice photos! I really enjoyed these, thanks for posting them.
