Dave Holland 0 Posted January 13, 2021 Hi Everyone, I'm a very keen underwater photographer and have been diving for 15 years logging more than 5000 dives - mostly done with a camera in hand. (Well, at least when I'm not teaching!). I am a PADI IDC Staff/SSI AIT and have previously managed dive centers in both the UK and Egypt (Sharm el Sheikh). I'm living in Denmark now and dive all year round both here and abroad (travel restrictions permitting) but my favorite location is the Red Sea .....it just has so much variation to offer! I have focused predominantly on stills in the past - the video I have done has left a lot to be desired!.....but now, with current technological capability I really feel it's time to try again with video.

helgromite 5 Posted January 20, 2021 Hi All, I'm Richard from Northern California. I learned to dive and got my first underwater camera back in the early 80s - Nikon N2020 in an Ikelite housing. I'm just returning to the sport after a couple decade hiatus. I just bought a new camera system that I plan to use around the world hopefully for another 5-10 years.

EdObie 0 Posted January 21, 2021 Greetings. Just joined. I'm a surf photographer from Va. Bch., VA. and the OBX. Rather complicated trying to insert an image from my website? Oh well. I have an amazing CMT Custom Carbon fiber housing I'm trying to sell with ports to fit multiple lenses including a flared flat port for the 24-70mm f/2.8L II wide angle zoom for the canon 7D Mark II. I moved to Aquatech and am currently using a canon 5D Mark IV and the Reflex housing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aqua Kahuna 0 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone! I'm from Tasmania, Australia! I love (and have only) dived in temperate and cold waters. One day very soon I will hit warm water. I have currently started my DM and am also a rather inexperienced (I'm working on it!) Freediver. I've just purchased a camera (Sony A7R ii) and am hoping to get a housing before too long. Hopefully interact soon, and if anyone ever heads to Tas, hit me up! Edited January 24, 2021 by Aqua Kahuna Added photo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
