Changing of the Guard

Postby Gudge on Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:03 pm

We got out for one dive last Saturday and it turned out to be my last dive with the 50D/Subal rig as when we got home from the dive there was the loan Aquatica 7D and accessories sitting in a Pelican case on our front doorstep (good thing Exmouth has a very low crime rate :) ). Conditions were pretty terrible and once again we were limited to Bundegi Reef. I was shooting the 10-17 behind the 4" Zen dome again. Didn't get anything I was terribly proud of but here are two of my best:

For Sunday's dive I decided to keep it simple (new camera & new housing) so I just put my 60 macro on the 7D and concentrated on fish shots while I got used to the new rig. We managed to get our first dive in on Blizzard Ridge in Lighthouse Bay ( the first non-Bundegi dive in 7 dives) but the wind blew up from the SW during the surface interval so it was back to Bundegi again for the second dive. :( Here's a few of my first attempts with the new rig:

Nice work Gudge. You'd best change your WAD signature and hand that subal deal over to the missus officially. :-)
Nikon D300s in a Nauticam housing, a few Nikor lenses, a couple of inon strobes and ultralight arms to connect them to the housing. Pre May 2010 Olympus C7070, PT027, with the strobes and inon wet lenses (WA, fisheye and close up).

As usual Gudge, great pics. I like the blenny poking his head out the hole.

So how does the Aquatica housing perform?

It's a very nice housing. Once I get my Nauticam housing and have had few dives with it too I'll be doing a report comparing the two.
