Re: Strobes not firing underwater

I would like to circle back with the current situation. I got the strobes to fire underwater this weekend, on two dives. I have changed three things:
- battery for the optical trigger
- pin positioning on the optical trigger
- mode of shooting for the strobes. Backscatter advice was to use the second mode which is without pre-flash. It worked on land but very sporadically in the water. The mode that worked consistently in the water was the first mode (with pre-flash)
For the record, still no answer from Isotta whether the housing trigger is compatible with Sea&Sea YS-D3 but hopefully strobes will continue to work and not need their answer.
Thanks everyone.
