Snorkeling split-shots
@JB_Cazajous ”I really struggle to keep it above water. Even with the added equipment I explained earlier, my camera still sinks.” Yep, exactly! Even with scuba it can be the same problem. Housings with all their attachments are very heavy out of the water. Floating it on a partially inflated BCD solved the problem.

Snorkeling split-shots
Snorkelling or diving is pretty much the same for splits. You need the camera slightly submerged. I thought the swimming bands on the strobe arms a super idea. I did wonder though whether putting the housing on a swimming board would make it difficult to submerge. Sitting on the inside of a partially inflated BCD (so sitting on the BCD's back rest) was the method I'd found reasonably effective. You can play around a little to start with increasing the air in the BCD until you get the right level of buoyancy. You can also sort of rest on the BCD and push it down or angle it with your arms.

What's wrong with this picture?
I'm with Chris. A Retra diffuser cunningly fitted to the Backscatter strobe. Fiendish.
