Hand it to you method.  Not worth the risk and the cost.   This coming from personal experience....holding it in hand years ago and flooding was the result.    

 

Think about this...the only cost to pop back up and reach over and get your rig from the dive guide is a few extra seconds. But the potential cost to rolling in or holding it while rolling or striding off the boat - $1000s and no pictures for your dive trip.   And with what we spend and or time to get to some of our destinations, a few extras seconds every time is well worth it. 

 

Just my 2 cents worth today - DiverPam

How do these compare for ease of use?  Does the Aquatica Close Up Kit have to be put on before the dive or can it be moved out of the way underwater like the subsee? Or changed out?

Jean Bruneau (Viz Art on the forums here) is an Aquatica rep.  He is on here often.  You might want to try and contact him about this.

 

Jean - Hope I spelled your name right.  

 

Good luck with your setup. Let us know what you come up with. - Pam  

There are some nice behavior shots in there - yawning, sharing space with other (a fish laying on top of a shrimp), and mouth to mouth.  Thanks for sharing your trip with us. I enjoyed looking through the set - Pam

Well done and congrats!   Yes...I would think this makes you officially not a beginner anymore.

Lovely - DiverPam

Awesome set of macro shots.   Great job for a first time with the subsee.  On my wish list - trip and subsee.

Thanks for sharing - DiverPam
