Hi guys, I've been shooting on land with my D70 for some time now and I finally decided to break down and buy an ikelite housing and strobe for an upcoming dive trip to Cozumel. Now with the exception of high altitude locales, microdrives are a tad slow, but otherwise fine for my normal use. Is there anything I need to worry about when diving? Am I not correct in thinking that the housing should keep my camera and its innards at 1atm or should I be looking to replace my media with flashcards?
Thanks in advance,
Karl
If it ain't 1 bar, it must be wet.
I use a Microdrive in my Digital Rebel in an Ikelite housing, and have had no problems with it. If you're happy with the speed on land, it shouldn't be a problem.
Excellent, thanks!

I've had a 1 GB MD down to 150 ft. No problems. My camera guy keeps tell me that they have a lot of failures but I've never had nor seen one.
