Regardless, It is going to be a handfull in the water though Tim.
The AF on my D800 is better than the D300 but in the water I find the 105/D300 bad enough - chuck in a load more mag and what, one and a half or two stops of light loss ?
Alex could make a box brownie work in the water so don't take any notice of him.

My annual travel policy (£120 year) covered my last trip that went south due to the diagnosis of a family member (father) with terminal cancer.
In Topic: Problem with slow recycling of the strobes

It is tempting to say "yea it is Subtronic - that is the problem" but guessing that may not be seen as helpful.....
Sounds to me as if the camera electronics is coming in to play, I.E. the camera 'thinks' the strobe is not yet 'ready'.
To confirm this fire the strobe disconnected from the camera by shorting out the appropriate pins on the connector, if it does fire whenever the ready light is on then it must be cable or camera setup.
If you are trying to use TTL then I would say that this is most certainly the case.
Could also be the cable again if using TTL that is quite possible.
Think also that on my D300 there are some plug changes in the housing for manual / TTL ( I only set it to manual and ran away as TTL was not for me ), might be worth checking if that is similar in the D3 (bet it is).

For one I am still not buying the 'because it is difficult it must be somehow better' angle.
If and when you can demonstrate a superior image that can be attributed to the fundamental format or media used then maybe it is worth the effort - up until then I am not convinced.
Where next ? put up an easel and get the tubes of oil paint out of the box while in the water ? - would that crank up the 'difficulty' ? Well yes it would, however would the end result be better because of it ? Well it would be different that is for sure.
Show us and we can all make the judgement call.
