My new u/w photography rig....

[kwajwreckdiver]

Got my new u/w photography rig in about a week ago. It's built around the Nikon D300, and has the following items-

Sea & Sea MDX-D300 aluminum housing
Tokina 10-17 wide angle lens
fish eye dome port
twin Sea & Sea YS-250 strobes

And assorted cabling and whatnot. Anyway, it's HUGE compared to my old SeaLife Reefmaster DC600.

I kinda had a brain-fade when I ordered the system, and didn't order a macro lens. I was thinking more of the panoramic shots of shipwrecks and plane wrecks that I shoot a lot of. But I've since corrected the oversight on the macro lens.

So I've been running around Kwajalein shooting everything in sight, getting used to the DSLR. I figure about two weeks before I'm in the water with it. I want to get used to how to set f-stops, apertures, etc.

I've posted three pics of my new system, one shows the old SeaLife DC600 next to it. Sorry about photo quality.

Now a question- for anyone here that uses the Nikon D300, what settings do you use for underwater shots?

Cheers!

Dan (having lotsa fun with the new rig!)
