Vacation time is coming up, there's always the Grenadines to consider, although for wind earlier in the year might be better. More to life than just wind, or so my wife says. Wonder if it's true?

btw, all the shots above on this page, except the one taken off Mayreau were shot with a small amphibious camera. It is rated to 10 m or 33 ft., shoots still and video images. It is good to have something portable while your riding, doing shallow free diving, snowboarding or just hanging out on the water. I understand they just came out with the 1070 sw replacing the model listed below.
* Olympus 770 SW 7.1 Megapixel Camera 3.6” W x 2.3” H x 0.8” D ! For more info: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_se...p?product=1287

Rick,
Thanks for the advice. I just purchased the 1030 SW. This thing is killer. 10 mega pixels and underwater to 10 meters. Unfortunately I had to buy 2 of them, because the first only lasted 4 minutes in the bay. I dropped it and lost it forever before even taking a shot!!! I went out a bought another the next day and had a great weekend! I'll post some pics later. Kent |

Hey Kent,
Damn that sucks! Nothing hurts a photographer more than deep sixing a camera. Sorry that happened. I've been using the following system with some success on and under the water, walking around, on the snow, etc.. It works pretty well. I got one of these Lowepro camera pouches: http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/produ....do?oid=146439 I run the wrist leash through the neck strap. That way if I drop the camera, it hangs off the camera bag. If I am kiting, I run the neck strap through my impact vest so the lot won't fall off in a bad wipeout. I tuck it under my impact vest when not in use to keep it out of the way. If you don't wear an impact vest an idea might be to use one of these camera floats. Or, better still jury something on your camera neck strap. http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Floati.../dp/B0014DURIW Show us some shots from your new camera!
