Remember the 'Nikonos Guide' by Jim and Cathy Church? The general use and very specific guidebook that instructors used as their u/w photo course manual. The book that many divers bought with their Nikonos V camera to learn it's many features. The same book that could be seen in dive bags being used as a reference between dives.
Well, today it's much different with digital. Or is it? Could instructors and divers benefit from a small, yet complete guide book for an u/w point & shoot camera outfit? Would it make sense for this book to be 'brand specific' with the exact directions and descriptions for the camera outfit? Our thoughts are that the basic camera instructions are not written by divers who are out on a rocking boat trying to make everything work. Or worse yet, dealing with a 3 knot current and gloves while making adjustments to their camera gear at 50 ft.
Let us know if the SeaLife outfit or the Sea&Sea outfit could use some help with a complete photo guidebook. We've already got the outline of general techniques down, we just need to get specific with a brand.
Maybe we'll rename this topic... To Sea or not to Sea --- Life & Sea
I miss my antique Nikonos outfits and the days of fooling with film to get that ONE shot from a roll of 36 that was worth keeping.
Happy Diving!
