Living in Maui now and having access to some great underwater shooting opportunities, I’ve been doing a lot of research on underwater photography. It is something I haven’t really tried much with beyond point and shoots in underwater housings. I have a host of great dSLR cameras, and it may be time to start taking this a little seriously. (BTW- Nice underwater housings are pretty ridiculously expensive! lol)
Stumbled across an amazing photographer based in the Bahamas named Elena Kalis and am including her links here. Her work is nothing short of STUNNING, I especially LOVED the Alice In Wonderland series, which I would have to call a Master Piece of work. Absolutely incredible. I’ve emailed her to see if she would do a private workshop with me, one-on-one. I am anxious to hear back from her.
If you are in need of some artistic inspiration and have 10 minutes, invest it on a visit to her websites, you will not be disappointed!

For underwater there is a not expensive option called Outex ( http://www.outex.com ), I have a couple of their rubber cases, but my aim is to protect the equipment from sand, mud and rain (in off-road jeep trails). The Outex covers are fine for some 20′ dives (they advertise 33 feet, but I’d go some 20 feet maximum, as the water pressure may start pressing some buttons when we get beyond 30 feet. It is basically a water tight rubber case with clear glass windows for the lens and eyepiece (also tripod mount if desired). Email me if you need any further info about it. Cheers.
This will be fun to see what you come up with. I like number 24 and 25 in gallery 2 the most. They appeal to the diver in me 🙂 All of them are pretty amazing though.
