Well it looks like I may have to finally retire the good old Coolpix 8400. Its served me well however I felt a little left behind so I bought myself a D80 and somehow Ikelite managed to have a housing designed, built and shipped to me within a month!
I took it for a test dive today with the Nikon 60mm. The Ike housing is fantastic, yet again Ike has come up with the goods! B) I'm off to PNG next Friday for 2 weeks diving around Motupore Island, will give it a thorough work out and hopefully have a couple of nice shots to show on my return.
The following pics are from my local divesite (Flypoint in Nelson Bay) and were taken in a 90 min dive today:
Half Banded Seaperch
Black Margined Glossodoris Nudibranch
Green Moray Eel
Blue Dragon Nudibranch
Draper's Egg Cowry
and here's a few more from the dive. I must say that I do miss the LCD screen of the CP8400 however the features of the D80 more than make up for it!
Splendid Chromodoris Nudibranch
Spindle Cowry
Clown Ceratosoma Nudibranch
Maori Cod
Now I just need to figure out how to use it!!!
Very impressive, particularly for your first outing. I particularly like the composition of the last one.
Great shots Dave - thanks for sharing them here.
Now you can truly catch the action - good stuff.

That is THE first housing we have nailed together:
