Hello from Melbourne

Hey everyone,

I've been diving for almost 10 years, and shooting for a similar amount of time, but not underwater...
I'm keen on land macro and will purchase a housing soon to get more out of my dives.
Looking forward to no longer trying to memorise nudibranch features during dives and inevitably forgetting half of them!

Best wishes from the team

I have long fascinated with shooting ring lights underwater starting with the Inon Quadflash, through the various Athena modifications to Sea and Sea strobe heads, continuing to the Saga fiber optic rings and now to the Weefine 3000. The Weefine 3000 is the latest version of the LED lights made by Kraken and Weefine. The Weefine 3000 CCW Weefine 3000 CCW Ring Light It's similar to the earlier 3000 lumen LED modules but has adjustable color temperature and a 3000-lumen burst (strobe) mode. It
