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. I have changed digital cameras after second one due to flooded and dropped in the sea. Almost of all accidents were compensated by insurance. |
