Wow, I ask for a little help over in the UW photography section and hear crickets chirp, ask here and get some real input! Thanks everyone! Seriously. With your help, Ive got my 10 point plan and Im off to start searching for a rig
1) Buy simple POS camera
2) Come up with a good lie to tell spouse when he sees the credit card bill
3) Read manual. HAHAHA. No really. Read the manual.
4) Practice taking photos topside. This involves incessant, annoying photo taking at inappropriate times, hopefully resulting in blackmail material to pay for said camera, thus resolving #2.
5) Become proficient at putting housing together and taking it apart. Once I get it, do it after a beer or two, just to be sure.
6) Now I try #3 and #4 with my gloves on
7) Try not to throw the camera against the wall, maybe another beer?
8) Once I can operate it with my gloves on, I go in a dark closet to mimic underwater conditions in the Great Northwest
9) Go drink more beer and look at pretty photos online to remind myself why Im doing this and finally .
10) Book a boat dive with Brules and go use my brand new camera!
