Put my D300 into my un-altered D200 Aquatica housing and went for a dive today. The camera fits into the housing without much trouble and the controls on the main housing body all seem to work, however as most already know none of the controls on the rear cover work effectively, unfortunately one of these is the shutter speed dial.
I managed to use the camera by setting the shutter speed I thought I would need before the dive and adjusted aperture and strobe power during the dive. My picture aren't that great but here they are (vis was about 10m and was using a Tokina 10-17mm lens).
and took the below in the garden when I got home
Green Ant queen wih eggs - ISO 200
Grass hopper - ISO 800

Hi

I'm interested in doing similar. Any additional feedback you can give on controls, workarounds etc are much appreciated.
