You're whetting my appetite. We're coming to Australia in 2008 and I was in touch with a dive shop last week about seeing some "weedies". I can hardly wait and still over a year to go. My son married a girl from Oz and we'll be visiting her parents in the Melbourne area, as well as doing some...

Is the moray a crop of an even larger picture taken from further away? I'm trying to figure how you get such good photos of Undulated Morays without being bitten? I know they're not exactly friendly. I love the photo.

I don't know about the best prices but it will be hard to beat the service you get from Ryan at Reef Photo and Video. That's where I got mine. http://www.reefphotovideo.com/ Denny

I recently bought 2 used HP 120s from my LDS and had to have my reg converted to DIN. The shop showed me how to remove the DIN and put the yoke back in for when I travel. I don't like the idea of doing this, even to the point of considering buying a whole separate reg setup only with a yoke...

Physically, this looks a lot like my Olympus Evolt E-500. Since Oly and Sony both have their cameras made by someone else, I wonder if they're close copies, except for the MP rating. The E-500 is 8.1MP. (I confess to not taking the E-500 underwater. I still stick with my C5050)

The link didn't work for me either.

I bought a refurbished camera as a back up in case I flooded my C5050. I haven't had any problems with it and I use it regularly. The xD PictureCard slot in my original camera doesn't work so I use the refurb most of the time so I can have two memory cards when diving. It functions perfectly.

Thanks for posting, I very much enjoyed the photos. I loved the Napoleon Wrasse.

N@cro$i$, I use the optical cable setup to get the strobe to fire. When you buy the strobe it comes with material to cover the internal camera flash (at least mine did from Ryan). The covering allows only infrared light to pass through. Whe the internal flash fires the infrared light is...

I'm using a C5050 and PT-015. I didn't want to get into the upgrade rat-race, and liked the C5050 so well that I bought another C5050 and PT-015, just in case one or both go bad (read flood). I use the Inon D-2000 strobe, which is very easy to use. I have the WAL and a 165 close up lens, but...

When I learned to dive, only 3 years ago, I was taught that you do the deepest dive first, with the second dive being more shallow. However, on a cruise I took this month I encountered just the opposite. In St. Lucia, with a dive master, we did a two tank dive, both fairly shallow, with the...

Very nice. I really enjoyed seeing your pictures. I can't get to St. Thaoms until next year so it gives me something to look forward to. Who did you dive with?

There is a PT-015 and a C5050 combo on sale on eBay right now, expiring in about 2 days. http://cgi.ebay.com/Olympus-C5050-camera-body-PT-015-underwater-housing_W0QQitemZ7580576853QQcategoryZ48542QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I currently use a 1GB compact flash and I will add a 512xD card for some Caribbean diving in February. I want to try my hand at some video footage, just for fun, and will use the xD card for that. My main focus (no pun intended) will be photos, though.

In spite of diving at home and wanting a new camera, you still continue to produce some excellent shots.

I use an Epson 925 at home, but have a PictureMate for travel. I just bring it on the plane as one of the 2 carryons. I'm very happy with both printers. My wife has an Epson R800 on her computer and it does an excellent job as well.

I think you'll love the camera too. In fact, I liked mine so much that I bought a backup and another PT-015 housing. I use 2300MHA NiMH batteries and they last at least 2 dives. I've never done 3 consecutive dives so I don't know if they'll last for 3. I also use the Inon D-2000 strobe...

Very nice. Now I can't wait to try my C5050 in the movie mode.

We were using 2300MHA batteries at the time, the same ones I use in my C5050 and Inon D-2000 strobe. However, her camera was still going dead. Once I adjusted the camera to stay on longer, before automatically shutting down, we haven't had a repeat of the problem. It seems that the fact that...

I agree with Gilligan, get the GB Undersea Lens Dock. I bought one earlier this year and on my second dive in Tahiti the wave surge was so bad that it moved me closer to the coral than I wanted. What I didn't see was the WAL caught on a piece of coral. Return surge stripped the lens from dock...
