Gee that hurt today. The first 100m off Shelley Bech was like swimming into a wall with all that chop. Well done The Kid. Race 2 tomorrow. Prayin’ for flatter conditions.

Looking for advice on underwater cameras….hubby has tentatively approved one! So many of you have them, if you care to share recommendations I’d love some insight from you. My main priorities are easy to use, waterproof, underwater mode. I dive so not opposed to getting a camera and a housing for more depth, but leaning towards simple and easy. Main questions, do you have to use a flash to get rid of the green hue or does underwater mode do that? How much post processing do you have to do? Any advice appreciated!

Five went north but there were only four in the photo. The video was good as it showed the wavelets very well. Nice gelato van

Practice??? I guess just pointing, shooting and expecting good results is asking a bit much…but I can hope! Thanks for the reply!
