f1nutter

There is no Mrs Nutter to justify my passions to, which is good, because I have many hobbies, all seem expensive!

I never got to Ocean Leisure Cameras before an Aquatica D700 housing and Megadome were listed on eBay. The temptation was too great and I went for it . I still need an extension ring but the bulk of my purchase has been done (or so I think, which is probably wrong). The housing feels good in my hands, if somewhat heavy. I haven't had the chance to get it wet yet and fully expect it to be, maybe, two years before I have the diving skills to start using it properly. I intend to take it on my next diving holiday, but only use it while snorkelling to get a true feeling.

Better book something before I forget what the mouth-piece thingy is called!

I knew you guys would come through! The website has now been bookmarked and the bank manager has been warned.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the information guys. I did think it would be a bit of an ask to do this so quick. I will try to build up my experience first.

I have now decided to go to the Red Sea in August and take my compact and see how I get on. It looks like I will defer my big purchase / trip for a year.

I bought the excellent book by Martin Edge a couple of years ago and will try to use some of his tips (shoot up!)

Pictures to follow sometime next month...
