Summary Course, day trip diving, without photo or few photos. Entries that are not created by itself as not enough.
Camera I like to take a trip wiht my camera beore I started to go diving.
After I started diving history, I bought a under water camera soon: nikonos-V, uw35mm and SB-105.
And a few mounths later, added the uw15mm lens.
Then about one year later, I bouth the digital camera: C-40 by Olympus.
