what not to do

[ozzydamo]

just to update,

i have 10 dives with the camera and housing now. all has gone well and most of the DM's commented on how good my buoyancy was with the camera.

I do appreciate the words of caution though as it made me focus more on buoyancy and not to get lost in the viewfinder.

photo's have been coming out alright but lot's to work on still. strobe position has been a bit of a battle and I think I maybe need longer arms? I am only using a 6" arm on either side so I think an extra 12" or so on either side would make lighting easier?

Its best to have 2 piece arms each of the same length- so for doing wide with 2strobes you'll need 4x 12" arms
Keep the 6" arms for macro later on when you get a lens for that.
