In 14 days I'll be on Bonaire for my second trip, This time i decided to try my luck at underwater photos. So I've got the camera Oly C770, the housing Oly pt-022, 1 extra battery and 1 16 meg card. I'm getting a 256 card also. This is what I've got what else do I need? Any help would be great Thanx. Buy the way I plan to download pix to my laptop daily.

Hi Chris, at the very least take more extra batteries it is addicting and the LDC screen takes alot of juice to keep on... I would just use the 256 card cause the 16 will only hold a handful of shots , make sure you have a good tether for the camera attached to your BCD but so you can also hold the camera out to take a shot, but if you needed your both hands for something the camera doesn't go to Curasao without you. Once you get the hang of underwater photography you will also want a strobe, but this might be down the line some the internal strobe should be fine for your first few times.. try not to Multitask it can be dangerous..... so you should get comfortable with your bouyancy first before taking the camera down with you.. I always dive the first two dives without my camera gear..then I can settled down ,have good bouyancy and get good photos. Good luck and dive safe. also dont forget to stop by the underwater cam at eden beach and visit with us.. how will we know you??
