Re: Over-under shooting with a big dome

I like the bungee idea and the inflatable float idea.  (Seems like someone should already be offering such a product).

I'm not keen on removing the lights at all, for two reasons.

First, I don't do over-under shots exclusively.   This is just something I'd like to do at the start and end of a dive, and I need the strobes the rest of the time.

Second, I want to illuminate the under portion with dual strobes hanging down.

I like the idea of the inflatable float because I could carry it through the dive without it affecting me, then inflate/deflate when necessary.

Does everyone doing over/unders with these big rigs use floats?  It would seem a requirement.
