Currently in Eilat, diving with U-Dive. Today I saw the wreck of the Satil. She's covered in soft corals. The first photo shows Claire, the diving in instructor at U-Dive.
Later we went to Moses Rock. This is a shallow coral head, about 1km from the Egyptian border. The number of fish is quite good.
My Olympus SP-310 performed well. The Sea & Sea 16mm lens is sharp but prone to flare, as seen in the last photo. It requires water to focus, but the PT-030 housing has a small hole in the barrel.
This was my first time using a strobe on a digital system. I bought a Sea & Sea YS-60/s, originally made for the Motormarine II camera. Then I added a Heinrichs-Weikamp optical adapter. It works well. I've found that setting the camera to slave flash, output level II is just fine. Most of my photos were taken at half power on the main strobe. A few were at full power.
In all, I'm happy with a system that cost about $1000 including camera, strobe, housing, wide angle lens, arm & tray.
