Housing buoyancy solutions?

3 posts
  1. I recently returned from Indonesia where I was doing quite a bit of macro. My Aquatica A20 with 100mm lens with two Inon Z220s (on short UL arms) worked great. I had a problem I am sure others have encountered. Often I was holding the camera unit with my right hand for shooting and using the left hand with the "one finger" technique to hold position. The camera tends to be faily negative with the macro setup and I was straining after a while to hold it level. I added a piece of carefully cut surf-board foam aquired in Bali to the left hand side arm and this worked for a few dives. However, it soon became crushed from repeated dives (as most foam does) and was rendered useless. Does anyone have a product solution or know of a foam material that will not crush so readily? I saw a few threads on this but wanted to put it out there again. Thanks.
