In Topic: Any advice on good Kona Coast operators?

Kona Honu Divers are really good and they use Newton 44 boats.

Another vote for Kona Honu. Very professional and they understand how to handle housings.

I think I will fly in to Miami and get a big car to transfer us.

Just make sure you book the car/van ahead of time with a reliable livery company. The walk up taxis at MIA can be less than reliable, and many of the drivers don't speak much English. I lived there for 10 years, this is from personal experience.

In Topic: Viewfinder Display on Aquatica D300 Housing

Can someone please post a picture of the viewfinder view compared to the standard viewfinder view?


Not sure I can photograph the viewfinder view, but as a comparison, the regular viewfinder is like looking at a scene through a keyhole. The Aquaview is like looking at the same scene though a window.

If you are using an Aquaview finder please let me know what your experience is with this - is it worth the cost?


I used a Fuji S2Pro Aquatica housing for 8 years, and always struggled to see all of the viewfinder. I recently switched to a D90 housing and bought the Aquaview. It is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I can see the entire viewfinder image including the exposure info LCD with my mask up to an inch away from the viewfinder. Also, the image is much brighter. IMHO it is absolutely worth the cost.

Bruce,Yes I would consider selling without the port.
I am fairly certain it excepts the AQUA VIEW FINDER I was looking into getting one at one stage. Any idea how I can double check this for you?
It has 1 bulkhead to suit Ikelite.
Shipping to the States would be about US $55-65.

Hi Craig,

Here is a snip from the Aquatica price list which shows the interchangeable viewfinder.
