I am looking for any pointers or helpful hints photographing while drift diving. We are taking a trip to Cozumel, and only had shot video in the past. This is my first time shooting stills while drifting. I have recently purchased a Sea & Sea DX2 with Sea & Sea YS 110a strobes.

I switch from PC to MAC 2 years ago. I changed due to MAC is better with graphics then PC. MAC is more stable and reliable. If I had to changed back to PC, I would give up computing.

I finally got to use my new Sea & Sea camera. I was using my duel strobes and wide angle conversion lens. I was shooting in fresh water with good visibility. I was about 5-6 feet away from my subject which was a fairly large subject. I saw both strobes fire, but when I uploaded my images to my computer I noticed the photos still have a blue tint to them. How do I fix this problem?? The camera was set on program.

I just purchase a Sea & Sea DX-2G camera/housing with duel 110a strobes. Anyone have any issues with this camera setup, helpful tips. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

The best solution is laying over in PR is: DON'T. American Airlines sucks as an airline. If you read the travel booklet for Bonaire, it even states that loss or stolen equipment is very high in PR.

I sympathize with you. I had my uw photo equipment stolen in PR also. I did the exact same thing you did. Packed a pelican case with TSA locks. We had an 8 hour layover before our hop to Bonaire. When we arrived, I noticed the locks were missing. Upon picking up the case it was clear what had happened. The case was quite light. Upon opening the case was empty. I was carring an Olympus 8080, Ikelite housing and 2 Ikelite strobes. I made notification to someone in Bonaire, which was to no use. When we arrived back in Newark, I spoke to the lost luggage personnel. I was told that it was not their problem. Luckily I had Dive Assure travel insurance. After filling out the mountain of paperwork, I was compensated by both Dive Assure and the TSA. The moral of the story is CARRY ON ANY ELECTRONICS OR PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT.

As a new UW photographer I wanted to start off right. Several of my friends have the Sea & Sea cameras, housings, and lights. I thought would buy what I could afford. I ended up with the Sea & Sea setup, DX-2G camera / housing, YS -110a duel strobes, and arms. Now I have to learn all of this. I am still trying to learn UW video also. Maybe too much on my plate?
