Heading for Bonaire in Sept with a new Sea&Sea MotorMarine II EX camera and would like some insight on how to use it at night. F stops, shutter speed and TTL or not? That kind of stuff.
Have been searching the web and even bought a how to book for sea&sea but no mention of night dive setups. If someone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

Greg

From memory and assuming 100 ASA I would start with

Normal and Wide angle a minimum of f5.6 and 1/60 Sec.

Get them developed and amend accordingly

Macro the same as daytime F24 1/60th

Regards

Brian

Both with strobes on TTL

Thanks for the info. I'll give these settings a try in the backyard pool tonight. Trying to waste as little film as possible so a starting point will come in handy.
