Nearly ready for the scrap heap, long since out of fashion and that's just the photographer 
I might be the only person who ever bought Ikelite's scuba housing for the K7 / K5. I don't dive enough any more to justify getting a new housing since they cost 2-3 times what the camera costs. There isn't one for any of the later Pentaxes and if I change camera brands I probably won't worry about housings (I'd probably a Fujifilm GFX of some sort and I wouldn't risk it)
Underwater photography is basically watch what your subject does, pick your angle, and trust the camera to do stuff you can't be doing. When it goes right you get shots like these.
These are of a small group of hammers who are resident in the Bahamas and if the mood takes them will swim by to be fed by local experts.
Note that bubbles are not going up vertically there was a strong current - this is about 6-8m of water (20-25 feet) so fairly shallow, and just as well as I started one dive with a nearly empty tank - running out of air is not something I recommend, even without sharks nearby.
Most sharks aren't a threat to divers and the main danger with hammerheads as they have a bind spot in front and might swim into you - you can see a diver in the background of shot 1 has a small piece of plastic pipe for the shark to bump into first.
