Some of my first photos with A6300

Well, I had to do it faster. I started diving at 57, I am now 60. Having the sea in front of "my face" it is easy to go diving so I do it in every available time if weather and sea waves allows. In the next weeks I' ll have 250 dives.

After being comfortable with diving I bought a GoPro clone to video underwater. I liked video editing. So it was fun. After a few month the camera started failing and my wife told me that it happen because I had bought cheap, that should have bought a GoPro.

At the same time I dived once in Varadero with a multiple UW Photo constests winner who did it with a G16. So I replied my wife why should I buy a GoPro if for not much money I could buy a real camera. So I bought a G7X with Fantasea Housing. Then, strobes: It came first to my hand, and old but solid Nikonos 105 and I bought YS-01. I am planning now to buy a second YS-01

After a year and a half I flooded the camera in the rinse tank !!!!!! It was my fault, not housing' s

I had the choice to buy another G7X but I decided to give a step further and bought the A6300 and did some "economies" buying the Seafrogs housing with extra short and dome ports, so as the vacuum valve to avoid or reduce flooding risks. They offer an acceptable / functional quality housing for much less than others. I see the housing as the insurance of the camera so why paying more for insurance that for the object itself.

I have dived about 10 times with this rig. I am still getting familiar with it. Most of the times with the short macro port.

Next purchase will be the strobe to have a couple of identical ones. And later, lenses, macro and wide angle since the kit lens is said not to be too sharp, but not very decided about which ones . For macro I am in love with Sony 90 mm but too costly on one side I am not really sure if I can manage it UW, so maybe I 'll decide for the 50 mm and eventually use the wet diopter for supermacro. For Wide-angle I am also in love with Sony 10-18 for which i have the zoom ring that come in the Seafrogs Bundle. But also too expensive. Seagfrogs started selling a focus ring for the Samyard 8mm and maybe this is a more affordable option.
