Great weather
Yeah Lyndon, it wasn't looking too flash in the week leading up to the trip but it all came together for us at the right time. Let's hope we get good weather on our next trip, too.

excellent
Very good vid Rusty. A great place to be I would say. Hopefully one day I will get there for a fish.
Can you tell me what camera you used for the video ?
Regards
Terry

Canon compact
Hi Terry
I am using a Canon IXUS 115 HS in an Ikelite 6243.01 housing. Some of the controls don't quite line up on the camera so I don't use the zoom function, which is a pity because on land, the camera's zoom works really well. Having said that, in photo mode, it will automatically choose macro if you get really close to your subject.
I'd like a better quality outfit but for now, I'll perservere with what i've got. The housing only suits that particular camera so I'll have to upgrade the camera and housing 'one day'.
I bought the gear from here: http://www.digitaldiver.com.au/index but you might find similar gear locally. Hope this helps.
regards
