I’m a diver and an underwater photography enthusiast in San Marcos, and I’m also a creative writer about to finish my MFA and begin my writing career. I am going to need “author photos,” and it occurred to me that I would love to use an underwater shot for more informal stuff (like articles I...

Reducing asking price to $1900, and will still consider offers for the housing without the camera.

I am interested in selling my Nikon D90, 3 lenses, and Ikelite housing setup (including everything you need, but no strobes). This was my first DSLR setup, and I love it, but I’m a small female in my late 30s, and it’s a lot of gear for me to lug around, so I’m planning to switch to a smaller...

Cautious interest I'm getting ready to upgrade (from a Canon s90) and I'm trying to decide whether to go for a DLSR and mirrorless camera. The Nikon D80 sounds like a great camera, but I'm nervous about buying a whole new set of camera gear for a semi-corroded housing, when it might be...

If you don't mind being limited to about 40 feet, I love my little Canon D10 (which is only about $250, doesn't require a housing, and takes remarkably good photos). It was my first underwater camera, but I still take it along on shallower dives as a backup. Emily

That's all really useful information. I'm definitely leaning towards the 4/3s. I do have a few residual questions. Is the consensus that Canon, Olympus, and Sony will all be pretty much equivalent in terms of ease of use and durability (not just quality of photos, which I understand is much...

I have been shooting for the last couple of years with a Canon S90 (I previously used the Canon D10). My setup includes the Canon housing and one inexpensive strobe. I've been quite happy using this gear as I developed better buoyancy control and learned the basics of UW photography. However, in...

Thanks for the info. Regarding the buddy issue, I definitely don't want to dive alone. I just wasn't sure if I should assume that they would match me up with someone. I've read that in the Keys some charters have the crew wait on the boat unless you pay separately to hire a guide. I've never...

My parents and I are visiting a family friend on Big Pine Key from April 2-12. My father (in his 60s) and I are both Rescue certified. We've each got something like 60-80 dives mostly in the USVI, plus some in Cozumel, New Caledonia, Oahu, etc. We live in the Pacific Northwest, so we only get...

Smellzlikefish: Thanks for the correction on the shark ID. I hadn’t looked it up yet, just named the file in the short term based on what someone said, but I can see that you’re right. Also, after reading about their temperaments, I’m glad to hear it was a Sandbar not a...

This was a very low-budget trip… probably around to 2/3 of the cost was the diving/gratuities. A travel tip: my friend Ken and I live in Seattle, but by driving 1.5 hours north to Bellingham we got tickets on Alaska/Horizon that were under $300 each, round trip. When we got there, we stayed...

I saw that ad and was thinking about going for it (I've got a week in Hawaii this fall). However, I'm afraid with all the people who might buy this deal, I could end up in a cattle-boat situation. I'm an underwater photographer (just an advanced amateur) so I'm looking for a shop that does...

Hi everyone, This is my first post to ScubaBoard, and I hope you all can help. I have a Canon Powershot D10 camera, and I love it. I've used it for three scuba trips, and have taken it down beyond 10M with no problem. However, I'd really like to be able to get more light for some...
