No, no, no, no, no! For using one of those diving!

Without an external flash of custom WB disappointment awaits.

Get a compact and housing. The these were taken last week.

With external flash-

WB can be fixed pretty well in post but like you say an external flash is a massive plus point even for snorkling let alone diving.

I disagree. You can't get good results in post without the basic colour info, even in raw.

Have a try with the shot above /\

From egypt last year:-

But how much is the setup The Blue?

lol, not £250

Any compact with manual WB can get great pics down to 20 meters. After that you need your own light source.

I'm diving a G12 and canon housing this year. Last year (the Egypt pic) was from a 5 year old fuji fd31. Strobe is a very old 15th hand ikelite ds50 with a manual dial EV setup (basicly takes .5 stops off the strength every click) .


i love the G12 for it's full manual setings and programable buttons but miss the fuji (the GF dropped it into a next of leaf cutter ants in the amazon and it never focused right after that!)

You are more talking photos though, something which I don't use the GoPro for, I shoot video.

 

[The_blue]

The G12 does great HD video.
