Hi guys
I've just come back from a weeks wrecking in the Red Sea. I've never been this time of year before, I'm glad I took my 5mm semi + a shortie, very cold doing 4 dives a day, well I only really managed 3 apart from a night dive on the TG. Vis was crap but I still managed to take a few photos with my new camera setup, Canon 400D 10-22 lens, 8' dome port with an ikelite housing, oh and no strobes.
For anyone thinking of going over to a DSLR think very good and hard about it. Apart from the cost there is so much to think about from carry the b1oody thing around, setting it up before the dive, adding more weight to it trying to make it neutrally buoyant, what settings to use under the water, trying the look though the VERY small view finder (which is a nightmare) the list goes on and on.
The first dive I hated it, I spent most the it wondering how much I would get on eBay for camera system I had just spent £1000's on, but ended up really having fun with it and now can't wait to go back and get wet.
I will be uploading my photo soon on my site but for now here are a few of them. Hope you like them

P.s. I have done very little PS editing apart from some RAW processing on these.
