Maui Dreams rents cameras.

Thanks. I'll call them and see what they have.
I was hoping to find a dive photo shop that had more extensive gear to rent/try/buy.
Strobes and such.

Maui Dreams may have some if you're serious about buying it (or ordering it through them) -- I don't think there's much of a market for rental of high-end gear, though.

I called them.
They'll order whatever you want, but don't have it in stock.
The only thing they have in stock is a point & shoot, which I already have.
thanks though

I'm just surprised there's noone around there to take dive-photo lessons from or try-out gear with.

He posts on this board as Tortuga Roja.

Perhaps he has high end gear available for a class / private photo dives.

Charlie,

Thanks for posting that. Tortuga is who I was going to recommend as well. Tortuga does some great work. If you check the digitaldiver.net board (Show Off section) you can see some of his work.
