As you may know from my previous posts, I am now running a new underwater photography equipment business as a sister site to this blog called Optical Ocean Sales, specializing in Fantasea Line products. I match mail order prices but am available to help you with your questions and advice as to set ups, shooting, other help you might need. Something that you can't get from a discount mail order place that doesn't dive.

New in my lineup are the various digicam sets that include a Coolpix housing for your choice of camera (I like the Coolpix P3 for the FP4 housing), tray, NanoFlash strobe, sync cord, and arm. They start at only $339 for the Set 2, but I really recommend Set 1 with the LED44 focus light, arm and larger tray. similar sets are also available for as little as $174 that fit any digicam.

DSLR housing sales are picking up. We currently have in stock the FD-50N ($845) for the Nikon D50 and the FE-330 ($985) for the Olympus 330. Both cameras have been seeing large mark downs lately and with my housings priced so low, you can easily get a starter setup for around $12-1500, unheard of for cameras of this quality. Fantasea also has newly-redesigned housings for the Nikon D70 and Canon 350XL due in stock any day now. Our housings for the Nikon D80 and Canon 400 xTi should now be out in early January, having been slightly delayed to some some changes on the new semi-dome port that will allow much better use of kit, and similar lenses. I've purchased a new Nikon D80 system and am looking forward to housing it soon!

Also new are Fantasea's line of Lightweight Arms. They are very nice as are all of the new arm sets and adapters.

If you enjoy this site, I'd appreciate your taking a look at Optical Ocean Sales and giving me an opportunity to help you get involved with underwater photography!
