Hoping to get some advice.
Going on a cruise at end of Feb. to Naussau and plan on doing the stuart cove shark dive. Do I pack the strobe or just go with magic filter.
Is the water clear and the abient light at depth good during the feeding? Do i push the iso with the filter?? Using the D7000 with minidome
and 10-17mm tokina is the plan unless someone has better suggestions.
Some advice from the people who have done this dive would be greatly appreaciated.

By the way anyone know what thickness wetsuit for that time of year???

Just got my nauticam housing for D7000.  I am going to just shoot macro for now to start.
Have not decided yet on strobe.  What tips do you guys have for using the camera and housing underwater.  What focus mode? What shortcuts?? What user defined settings ??  Please shorten my learning curve by learning from your trial and error.


Thanks

I used Macro lens with dome port with good success,  but a flat macro port would be a recomended add on to buyer.
Buy a 9-18mm wide angle lens and you have the dome port and zoom gear already to fit.

I will also have a point and shoot on sale in another thread for your wife or girlfriend.

Thank you
