Hi--I'm new to Scubaboard and have appreciate learning from the forums I've looked at. This is my first posting.
I am an amateur shooting a D70; have been studying fine art photography for a couple of years and have sold a few fine art prints.
I'm a beginning and eager diver; started getting ready in July to do some diving in New Zealand in November/December. In the past four weeks I've done 17 dives in Puget Sound (Seattle area), passed PADI advanced open water and am taking Rescue Diver next week (have also passed specialties in drysuit, peak buoyancy, night, and enriched air).
I enjoy looking at details, whether for shooting images or just plain diving.
I was saving up to buy an Ikelite housing for my D70 to use in New Zealand. One of my instructors advised me to buy a digital point-and-shoot with optional manual controls, because of what she said was "inevitable flooding" having a lower financial impact. Any comments or suggestions?
