I've got over 400 logged dives, mostly in the Caribbean and Hawaii, but I never got into photography. The cameras and equipment were very expensive, took up a lot of room on the dive boat, took forever to get set up, and still produced a mostly blue picture. Well, that has sure changed! For only $200 I purchased a Sealife Ecoshot and it produces GREAT underwater photos and video. It's a 6 megapix digital camera, or 320 x 240 video, and with a 1 gig card can hold around 400 pictures or over 20 minutes of video. The images all required a little processing....I increased the saturation and contrast of almost every shot, and subtracted a little blue and green from each shot. I think the results are excellent for only $200.
