Wow it must be an error, definitely not the same price in euro/gbp/chf . sells new for about 500

$11,100 USD?!? Is it diamond encrusted or made from meteoric iron?

As title mention, I'm looking for this piece https://www.nauticam.com/collections/pf-37202 Would want a seller from EU/UK preferably. Thank you

It really depends on how well you treat your housing and keep it clean. If you are meticulous about soaking and drying most housings can go a long time before needed a full service. However, in some areas the water available is very hard and full of minerals. This can leave ugly residues and calcium build up that probably is not great for the o-ring channels. If you have this situation, make sure to blow dry your housing to get as much of that water off before it dries. Just like with regulators, be wary of post-service hijinks. A buddy recently sent their housing to Ikelite for service, and it came back completely unusable. Controls installed improperly, broken hot shoe, etc. Years ago, I sent my Nauticam D800 housing to Reef Photo for service and while they did a good job, they missed fully inserting a c-clip. The error nearly cost me the use of my camera during a trip. The c-clip popped off and came inches from being lost forever. I called them up and asked for a supply of spare clips and parts to make up for it!

Looking forward to some pictures!

While diving in Socorros, I glanced up and saw a manta overhead. To my suprise, there were also three dolphins in the frame.

That’s fantastic! Thanks for that.

Aloha and welcome @ScubaUW1223 !

Welcome aboard Kip, good to have you here.

Hello, my name is Kip. I am a 72 year old diver that has recently gotten back into UW photography. I have been diving for over 30 years. I currently shoot with OM System OM-1 Mk2, but I am also adding Sony to my kit. I look forward to joining the community and getting advice to improve my skills.

For some, the 4K120 video crop could be a consideration; thanks for sharing. It is not a big consideration for me, but could be for those who are more video-focused.

Thank you guys. Orcas are nicknamed as 'pandas of the sea' and it well describes them. They are completely harmless toward human being, they literally shove you away on their way to food. The bigger problem are humpbacks who always crash the party from down below - open their mouth, eat the ball, make the splash and the story start again :-). I happened to be in the splash zone of one of these and THAT's an adrenaline!🤣

Thanks a lot for the answers, of course Isotta recommends a shorter service interval but honestly one or two years, which mens less than 100 dives for me, is not sensible to me. I change main o Rins every 2-3 years or until I notice any damage. Regards

Welcome!

Can’t believe you splashed with orcas. Incredible, and more than a tad scary! Those things make great whites look relatively harmless!

It's a pity they poorly encoded the video. There are lots of compression artefacts.

Same here, I have not had a housing serviced as yet, my Em-1 MkII was 6 years old and not serviced in that time, My local dealer said it was needed unless you had issues.

It must be an incredible experience. Bravo!
