Ouch! I think you should ingest large quantities of alcohol to numb the
pain, & if it doesn't hurt right now, it might at a later time so you
should have a double.
I'm also in the market for a good U/W light, so that is a good idea.
I promised my dear wife I wouldn't buy anymore dive gear...the camera is
for land use (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) a housing would just be an
accessory for the camera, for taking pics in the rain, and it do rain a
bit here. And by lucky chance the housing is rated for u/w use. ;-}
No she ain't that thick, but I just bought her a newer car so I can get
away with a few things right now, and 4-years of car payments <sigh>.
I'm sure the camera would take good pics, with good vis. I'm not certain
how it would work in our darker waters.
I am impressed with the pics I took this weekend, and the ease of
downloading them to the computer. Sweet.
And I bought the 128 meg memory stick.
