It's a Sealife ReefMaster RC SL201 (which you can see here).

It includes the camera (which is in an underwater case), the care kit, manual and yellow Pelican-type case (with pressure release valve).

You can buy one here for $99, or if somebody is interested in it, I'll give you mine in exchange for a donation to the Cellar tip mug. I'll even pay shipping.

Damm HLJ I dropped $$ in the mug today, how much do I have to give to make it a deal? Drop me a PM.

I'd try to get in on this deal too if i had more than about ten bucks in my bank account...
thats a pretty sweet little camera, and I'm SO into film.

Combo RFN (last saturday) and Underwater Photo, a self portrait (actually six or seven self portraits--weird!). I like how the bubbles look like pupils! :lol:

Diving school?

OOH!
Very case.

Heehee. What a cool shot!

If I were good with Photoshop, I would give V some tentacles coming out of his head. :)

I have used the Fuji and Kodak underwater cameras with pretty decent results. Mind you I only snorkel but the pictures are pretty decent and any good photo shop program clears up most of the flaws. Here is one that I took in

Cancun, I'm guessing.

Tree Fae, that's a nice shot. One I've seen many times in person during my own diving expeditions. Thanks for sharing it. One thing I'm looking forward to is experimenting with tools to make the pictures display on the screen like they look in my memory. Obviously I wasn't on this dive with you, but I did experiment a little with your image. Here's the result, trying to match my memories.

Halocline or thermocline, I'm not certain which one caused this phenomenon. In all four pictures, the EXIF data shows no difference, but the shots really look different. The fish, a Spotted Puffer, basically circled my position and I followed him around. The light changes, the background changes, and the way the light moves through the water *REALLY* changes.

On this trip, when it comes to Underwater Photography, I learned this:

Water *eats* light.

This trip was so fun, I took a zillion pictures, and I'll be posting more, soon.

A couple more for the road:

pic01 -- Pinktail Triggerfish. I love how the dorsal and anal fins are transparent. So gaudy, so beautiful.

pic02 --A pair of Yellow tangs, also known as surgeonfish. See that white spot near the caudal fin? A sharp barb, for slashing. I have a couple other shots that show it to good effect. It's like a.... tusk. Wicked. The Saddleback Wrasse seems unconcerned, though, don't you think?

Sundae 06-03-2008 06:39 PM

Even in an unfamiliar medium you still manage to capture beauty!

Glad you posted the Spotted Puffer sequence - shows the value of perseverance. And that a quality amateur doesn't expect one shot will do.

Crazy colors!
