My husband bought me an Ikelite case and a DS51 strobe for Christmas....I have an older camera, but it works great...it is for my Canon G11. We only go diving once per year so this works well for me. I had a cheaper case that I bought several years ago that does not have a strobe and it has held up well.....it is very basic, so this Ikelite Case is a bit of a step up and the strobe adds a new complexity. I have some basic questions that I would love to get advice on:
1.) I am thinking about buying a pelican case to transport my camera in to and from the boat (also use for traveling to/from Mexico). Any thoughts on this?
2.) Should I buy a red filter?
3.) How and when do you get everything ready for your dive (camera set to go), on the boat, before you board? How do you store between dives?
4.) any other advice that you can offer for someone diving with a strobe for the first time?
Thanks so much for your help!
