Snorkeling with external strobe?????
Hello
I want to do snorkeling and I bought a digital camera canon S60. I would like to know if it would be necessary to buy an external strobe (Epoque,...) or not...
I'm not swimming under 5 meter...
thanks

You will do just fine with a UR Pro filter to start with. Check out accessories for your Canon housing sold by Inon America www.inonamerica.com

There is no need for a strobe at these depths - but make sure you shoot with the light - i.e. have the sunlight shining onto and lighting up your subject.
This is a snorkelling image taken with just sunlight and filter:

Of course strobes can be helpful for some shots - where you cannot get good natural light onto all of your subject. The strobe helps fill the shadow:
