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.

Do extended fast bursts of high power flashes underwater cause migraines or trigger epilepsy episodes for marine creatures? Just askin' for a friend.

Mid-Range Strobes
There were certainly a number of reports some years ago of issues around the Sea & Sea D2 strobes. At the time some users thought the D2J resolved the problems. I donβt think there have been an unusual number of problems reported with the D3.
