Re: Suggestions for first proper underwater camera?

Thank you everyone for incredibly useful replies.

Re: Kelpdiver's questions: it is indeed the right hand that she can use, and the left upper arm works for bracing. But I was personally ignorant of whether strobes are actually necessary. It sounds like ambient light is definitely an option. I don't know the answers to your other questions.

The photo of the RX100 in a housing was very useful. It sounds like shooting ambient light with a Canon GX7 or Sony RX100 in a housing might be a good next step, as well as the suggestion to attend an expo and consider buying used.

Thanks again.
