Hi Marvel, Mikes Friend Matt from the old Fort Lauderdale Beach days!!! What a wonderful organization, as a west coaster I both donated and volunteered to assist west coast divers who cert then come this way. I know, all that fridged water and Great White rumors, but we Nor Cal divers...

If you are using a YS-90 or so yes that is true, if your using a monster like a 250 then your distance is significantly increased. It also has somewhat to do with clarity of the water color of the subject etc, but 3-4 ft is a good number for general use with most midsize strobes.

:lam: You may need to shrink down the size of your posts, to fit the board, I did. I run a great package called thumbs plus. It allows you to view all your shots in thumbnails but has literally hundreds of other uses and functions. One of my favorites is AutoRename. This allows you to give a...

I use a Single Q-40 mount on my work camera which is a Light and Motion Tetra housing and a C-4030. It mounts to a flexible plastic mount whos mfr escapes me right now but it is the black plastic series of little cups that attach to each other... On my Personal Rig (see attached photos) I use...

Your comment about empty water and fish butts is pretty common to digital photographers. Couple things you can do to help. First of all, See if the camera can be set to full time autofocus, as opposed to focusing only once when you begin to push the shutter button down. While this will add a...

Ok, First things first, learn to seal the case correctly. You need to use the lubricant provided on the O rings, but don't get nuts with it, a thin coating only. Also make sure the O rings are clean and free of sand and debris of any kind. A small thread from a towel you use to dry the case is...

Dee, You make an excellent point. BTW Can you turn your focusing light off for skitish subjects? I am looking at an additional strobe and that sounds like a great way to go! I looked it over on the website and it has all the features I need. Thanks. Matt

Gerry, I have this exact setup and will give you an idea of what you will need. I use the Sea and Sea YS-90DX strobe because it has 12 adjustable power settings for getting the exposure just right. It is triggered on my rig with a fiber optic cable, which goes from the flash area on the PT18...

:monkeydan A macro lens is going to help you even if you have the super macro function. The Super Macro function as I understand it gives you the ability to focus faster in macro but does not give you any additional magnification. A macro lens will actually give you additional magnification for...
