Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

Who are the scuba divers?
If so, have you done any dives in the Galapagos?"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Originally posted by Lost Student View PostJL and Creek arguments are the best!
It just occurred to me that JL and Creek realized that contention brings eyeballs and these spats are one way to prop up flagging site visitor counts. Even though I now know the arguments are manufactured à la Jerry Springer, I will still tune in.

Originally posted by Topper View PostCome join us December 4th and beyond. We need guides and photographic assistance.
A little advice:
Canon -- rent the 100-400mm f/4-5.6L IS USM or 70-200mm
Nikon -- rent the 200-500 or 70-200mm
Rent the longer lenses only if you're interested in close up of birds. My understanding is most everything is super tame and will let you get quite close.

Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostIt is funny to me that my comment has stirred up some many responses. You keep missing my point, so I will stop trying to explain it. Carry on.
And Lol @ you folks living in Vegas. I guess a comparison to Vegas is seen as a real insult!

Originally posted by swampfrog View PostOlympus TG-6 is what I've read the most good things about for an advanced point and shoot. DSLR underwater housings are expensive. Never used either, but most reviews of the TG-6 are very positive.
Do you know anything about these cameras?

Originally posted by Topper View PostI see it only goes down to fifty feet. Are you aware of one that could allow one to go deeper?

That's the first I've seen of any of the four. Not my area of interest so far.

Apparently there is an underwater housing module for the Olympus, but might be hard to justify unless other trips are planned. Improves to 150 meters.

If you're swampfrog-level serious about it, you'll want to have outrigger strobes like this guy. scuba camera rig - bruce argyle.jpg
Otherwise any strobe near the camera lens will just capture a lot of backscatter from all the suspended particles in the water. During the day you don't necessarily need a strobe, but it brings out the colors better.

With sidelight, you can capture much better pictures, such as these from a night dive (and even then, you get a lot of backscatter).

Of course, video is a blast, too.
