SoCalMike:I was taking underwater pics after 5 dives, and im still here to be able to type this! Recomending someone with than less than 100 dives to not carry a camera is a pretty huge broad statement.
I didn't say "...should not be carrying a camera...". I would not recommend it, as my opinion is indeed otherwise, but I did not suggest not, either. I also did say "but it's done."Fish_Whisperer:Agreed. I carried a camera on my first dives, after getting certified. I don't want to be bothered with it anymore, because I am truly NOT a photographer, by any stretch of the imagination, but to say that anyone with less than 100 dives should not be carrying a camera, is just ridiculous.
Anyway, if he wants camera suggestions, we have an excellent forum for that.
If he wants to improve his diving skills as a diver, we have an excellent forum for that.
And if he happens to want suggestions as to when a new diver should start carrying a camera, that could be asked on either forum.
Also keep in mind that I am not posting as a pro here, just based on my own learning experiences - here and in the sea...
