Frankly speaking, I can't remember which I have shot without strobes. Maybe I will post a few more..... if I can find them.... lol

The first basic rule of buying a DSLR is asking your friends around you what DSLR they use...... so you can borrow accessories or lenses you need. All reputable brands deliver pretty good results

Firstly, I have some experience, but definitely not all the knowledge you need Secondly, I happen to know a community of UW photographers and attended a few workshops conducted by them. A good place to go would be Clubsnap, they have a UW sub forum there. It's been a long time since I last breathe air UW. In fact, I lost most of the pictures over the years after HDD crash multiple times.... These are some pictures I taken with my first UW camera (Or is it second.... can't remember...lol).

The price for their housing will be around the same. Profit margin is not high for them to slash price. Sales volume is also low which explains why they usually ran out of stock and soon, no more in production. I had seen/heard of reputable brands flooding too. Most of the time, it's due to user fault not properly maintaining the O-rings or installing the ports correctly. There was once I heard the O-ring for one of the buttons failed on a Olympus housing though. Getting a better brand cannot replace user maintenance or user knowledge on what causes flooding. Macro pictures only. Strobes can't bring out a balance color in wider pictures and most of the time, user have problems adjusting the angles to get the correct lighting. Photoshop can do wonders. Just Google for "removing blue hue"...... The main reason for using strobes is to be able to shoot at higher shuttle speed and to be able to do that, investments for "TTL" flash etc is necessary. I was using dual slave strobes, its a nightmare.... May need to note that even the most powerful full strobe sets can probably cover a few meters ahead of you... Strobe is also good for fill flash when taking UW portraits shots.

I believe you mean Canon. For prosumer camera, its more advisable to get their own brand of housing. Getting something like Subal or Ikelite is not really worth it, even the cheapest 10bar housing would probably cost you a thousand or something. It is of course another story if you are looking at a complete strobe solution for the prosumer camera. He's looking for the housing but you are right. G11 is $799 and housing at $299 from MSColor

I would advise you to think twice. I was shooting underwater previously too, and to be frank, you lose all the diving fun. You will probably end up camping at single location shooting a macro to get an ideal shot or lugging your full set of equipments fighting the current. You would have to pay extra for excess baggage nearly every flight. I would suggest you do videoing. With a bit of WB knowledge, you can get decent videos. However, if you are keen to get any UW Photography items, I can introduce you to my friend who own such a business, can usually get good price from him.

I don't remember they have a closed scrubber leh.... got a picture?

It's really a shame, bro. Let me know if you are selling the lights alone

Price Revised to $250 Did I mention it comes with live rocks?

Sorry, my intention is to sell the whole tank set at least. Just to clarify, the tank's dimension is 39x20x30". Cabinet is 34" tall. I will likely keep the tank is no one is interested by this Sunday.

You mean without sump and cabinet?

Interesting..... Thanks a lot!

Any prerequisite to join the club?

Just to clarify my doubts, when you guys say super glue gel, do you actually mean those normal "Elephant" glue?

I got a bad feeling about this...... My advise is not to use such industrial grade high-speed rotating machine if you are not trained.
