    Where to get underwater housing?

    camera rental centre have an EPL-1 housing for rent. 1st day price 100 bucks, not cheap but you can collect&return 1 day before&after shoot, for a weekend trip maybe you'll only need to pay for 2 days worth. Anw, housing for which camera are you looking for?

    Shooting IR underwater - First Test

    For LX5, Ikelite or 10Bar?

    Dive Schools

    My instructor(he holds both PADI&SSI) told me PADI regulation said that students must buy the reading materials while SSI make sure that the dive centre have book loan available when students opt to not buy the books. Dunno how far is this true, or maybe a lot of dive centre choose to ignore...
