Re: Shutter speeds at certain depths

Kelpdiver - Ha, yes that was actually the key point!

Thanks for the details.

It's actually Gordan's Rock/Kicker Rock that I'll be going to. Unfortunately I couldn't find a dive trip to Wolf/Darwin the corresponded to the period of time I have off from work.

I know these two do not compare, but I'm hoping to still see them. Particularly at Gordan's Rock. I've heard the conditions can be challenging, but hoping not as bad as your experience further north! That reminds me of a previous 'hammerhead' dive elsewhere (didn't see anything) where the current was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Definitely wouldn't have been able to photography anything then.

Your advice is very useful. I'm now definitely going to get the Tg-6 or the GoPro, and right now leaning towards the latter as it's half the price.

I was considering spending much more, but as you say i'd be spending half my time trying to get to grips with the camera equipment - and I'd probably completely come unstuck with my buoyancy.

So yes, GoPro or TG-6 for now - relax and enjoy the dives and then maybe one day go back with something better.
