Hi Ron, I’m so sorry I only saw this reply now! Unfortunately I am not willing to separate the underwater equipment however the lens can be sold separately. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Guy, it's good to know that you swear by Nauticam! I have heard nothing but good things about them - I know they have a hefty price tag, but the quality of their products is fabulous from what I've seen and I have also heard good things about their customer service. I will be diving this rig several times a week, so I need something solid. Thanks for your input on everything

yes except they've discontinued the Inon Z240 and are now nearly impossible to find

Sunnyboy, Why not look into the new Retra strobes? This is what I will be changing my dual DS160 strobes to They've had LOADS of great reviews so far and come with a 2 year warranty.

Hey Sunnyboy! Really cool that you dove around the Montreal area and really awesome about that recovery dive! I'm ashamed to say that I have not been diving there, however I did once take a camping+diving holiday to Tobermory/Lake Huron (a good 10hr drive to Ontario from Montreal) and dove there - the wrecks they have in that lake are incredible and the visibility was surprisingly amazing! I only did that once though because I've now been living abroad for 4 years (only been a diver for 6 years). I guess you do the bulk of your diving off Vancouver? I've heard great things about diving there I too am quite attracted to Nauticam's port locking system as well… I have been extremely lucky with my Ikelite system and never had a leak/flood in the 2 solid years I dived with it (nearly every day since it was my job) - but I know it's just a matter of time. Looking forward to the upgrade!

Sunnyboy, You are right about the weight of the housings in comparison. I looked it up and the Nauticam is in fact slightly heavier than the Ikelite - however I am still attracted to switching over to an aluminium housing that also has a leak detector and vacuum pump (I know you can get these for Ikelite but it requires modifying the physical housing which I am not too keen on doing). I guess I am also just looking for something more ergonomic and less boxy/bulky… In any case, I agree that the information about sync cables/optical cables is rather mystifying and needs some clarity. Thanks again for confirming the information Guy, again super helpful! You are right about the weight - I checked the specs on both housings and the nauticam is actually slightly heavier =/ ah well, I'm after an ergonomic system anyway and want to do away with the bulkiness of Ikelite. I haven't ordered my Retra strobes yet since I am moving to Fiji mid December and I am not sure if I will get them in time… I have sent them an email to see what they say before I place an order.

Hi Guy, Wow thank you so much for all this information, this has been incredibly helpful! Just to make sure I got the details right: from what you wrote and from what I read on Nauticam's website - because I plan on upgrading to a Canon 6D mkII, there is no pop-up flash. And since there is no pop-up flash, then I do not have to worry about the on-board camera flash's recycle time? Nauticam explain that they have two triggers for hotshoes, one without TTL and one with TTL abilities. The one without TTL (also cheaper) does not output any flash and just uses an LED to send light optically whereas the TTL trigger has a physical external flash which would then limit the recycle time. Nauticam claims that the LED trigger (no TTL) allows the strobes to use their own quick recycle time without being hindered. I hope I got that right.. and if I did, it means that if I am willing to do away with TTL, then there should be nothing stopping me from switching over to fiber optic cables. The reason I want to switch from Ikelite is that I am looking for a lighter and more ergonomic rig. My rig is incredibly heavy and bulky and as much as I love the quality of the DS160 strobes, they are just also too big and heavy. I am trying to downsize a little yet still stay in the DSLR range. Let me know if I got all of the above correct… Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question, it has really provided me with much more information to make a decision

Hey guys, I am currently looking into upgrading my current system… I am using an Ikelite DSLR housing with Ikelite strobes + sync cables. I want to upgrade to a Nauticam housing with hopefully the new Retra strobes. But my on-going dilemma is this... Sync Cables or Fiber Optic??? When I do my upgrade, I will have the option to have one or the other since Nauticam supports both. What are the pros and cons to using either of these setups? Is there a preference? Reliability? Recycle time? What do you guys think? Thanks again for your wisdom! -Christine Albanese

I want to take the time to say thank you for everyone's responses (I know this is quite some time later) - I have taken everyone's advise in housing maintenance and it has been going pretty well for me so far! Dpaustex, I have more or less adopted your way of post-dive washing and disassembling/reassembling minus the turkey baster part for the buttons. I kinda just work the buttons while its in the bath every so often during the hour or so that its sitting there. Maybe a silly question, I am not sure if I am being majorly paranoid about leaks or not, but every time I am getting the housing ready for a dive, I put all main o-rings under a light and gently pick off even the smallest pieces of lint... I remove pretty much all of them but the task is really tedious. Do you think leaving some of these could result in a leak? Thanks for your help, as always

Sorry for the revival of this topic - I have a slightly bigger cleaning problem than just dust and spots... I'm relatively new to UW photography so taking care of my equipment (aside from the o-rings) is a little new to me. Somehow, a mosquito decided to go into my Ikelite 8" glass dome port and die there. It also managed to leave a lovely 5cm long streak as well (don't ask me how) but its RIGHT on the very edge of the port right where the lip dips down - I can't reach it with my hand. No, it doesn't interfere with my photos but it's kinda nasty lol Do you think it's a problem to soak the inside of the dome in water? Or some kind of solution to loosen up the nastiness? I'll at some point also try and concoct some kind of tool with a bend in it to wipe it, but any tips on this would be helpful. Thanks folks

I don't think that works with ikelite housings. Also, would be nice to insure strobes too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I've been having trouble finding flooding insurance for my set-up. I live in Canada, I am not a home-owner nor an apartment leaser (so coverage under home insurance is a no-go and coverage with H2O through DAN is a no-go). I've looked at DEPP insurance but the horror stories and and fraud incidences have sent me running away far and fast. What are other people in my situation doing?! Is there an insurance company that will cover my kit?? I've tried googling this but with no luck... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for your responses everyone, I really appreciate the feedback! So it's clear from your comments that extra buoyancy is a must with this Ike setup. I got 2 sets of arms by Ikelite - its obvious that these aren't a favorite amongst you guys, but I am on a budget and they were a good deal so I'm stuck with them for now. What kind of buoyancy options are available for Ikelite arms? I've looked on website like backscatter and blue water photography but I can't seem to get a clear explanation as to what would work with these arms... the Stix looks like the most efficient and practical solution but do they work with Ikelite??
