thoughts on diving with a camera

I have used the same dive fleets and dive guides for years and years. I generally 'buddy' (in the loosest possible sense) with the dive guide so no one is clucking at me when I do my own thing. It helps to have the SDI Solo certification, if only so that if the worst should happen, the dive operation can say that I was diving within my qualifications...

Damo,

Not sure where in Ireland you do your diving. I dive in Northern Ireland, mostly with Seasearch. We usually have about half the boat filled with u/w photographers; and plenty of buddies willing to dive with them as the whole point is to carry out marine life surveys which means moving fairly slowly. Might be something worth checking out?

Many thanks,

TDD
