I just got my Ikelite housing for my D80 on Wednesday and took it out this weekend to Catalina. We dove Bird Rock, Ship Rock, and Casino Point. I was using a 60mm macro lense. It was my first outing with a dSLR, after moving up from my Olympus C-5060/Ikelite Housing (now FOR SALE). The housing worked as well as expected. My only dissappointment was that there wasn't a housing control for the assignable Function button, which I thought would be accessable. I'll have to follow up on that one. I liked the camera a lot - particularly its responsiveness. I did have a bit of a time getting use to looking through the viewfinder. When I tried to get my eye really close, my regulator would bump into the housing. One time, I was about to get a really close head-on shot of a leopard shark when I loosened my jaw grip on my regulator allowing it to slip out of my mouth. Bubbles flew out all over the place, scaring off the shark. Here are the photos.
A medium-sized Bluebanded Goby:
A juvenile Garibaldi:
An adult Garibaldi:
An Olive Rockfish. He just sat there hovering in front of my lens for a while.
A Leopard Shark. There were three of these guys cruising around Bird Rock. They had also been out there the day before.
A Tubedwelling Anemone:
Thanks for looking.
