I recently bought a Panasonic Lumix waterproof camera guaranteed to 12 meters but since buying it havent been able to bring myself to put it in saltwater or take it scuba diving as it just doesnt look like it would handle it so I got this delivered yesterday from the states they make them for pretty much all cameras $299 guaranteed to 60 meters or 200 feet cant wait to have a crack at it
Cheers Boof
I have scuba dived for 20 years and have just put my missus through a scuba course with Kirra Dive it will be good to get a photo of her white, ashen terror stricken face when she sees her first Noah off Cook island

Nice work Boofy........just had a look at their site and it seems I could get a reasonably priced housing for my 60D - to be honest I had looked at a few a while back but at $1,200 plus decided against it....now you have me thinking ahhhhh

Talking about cameras anyone else had dramas with go pro cameras . Mine started going from the 2 second snap shots back to individual shots - fun to change back out in the surf .

Then shots taken disappeared from the sim card

Latest drama won't turn on , but if I take the battery out and put it back in away it goes .

It's not far off being lobbed out into bass straight .

Should have got a contour

Looks like BH to me - hoping to get a surf in there this coming week - such a beautiful spot. Hows the sand there at the moment?

My lumix will live on the edge, knowing it has experienced life to the fullest even if it is a short life.

The surf was blown out mush when I got to Kingy this morning so I went for a dive out the front instead with the new camera and took a photo of this cool little lionfish I am stoked with this outfit

How close did you get to the lion fish Boof

Looked at getting some for our marine tank but the fatal toxin in their spikes put me off .
Beautiful looking fish though . How big was that fellow in the pic

Tas I managed to get within about 6 inches of him they are pretty much fearless I think he knows he is toxic I was upside down in his cave when I took that shot he is probably about 10 inches long
