Wetpixel Review of the Aquatica Kodak Housing
I've just posted the review of the Aquatica housing for the Kodak ProSLRn/14n along with extensive image samples and 100% crops. I made two dives in cold water at the Coronado Islands just south of San Diego in order to evaluate the setup in challenging conditions. In the right hands, and accounting for the camera and housing quirks, the system is capable of producing stunning 4,500 x 3,000 pixel full frame underwater images. Aquatica took a bold step by developing a housing for this camera without already having a large user base of camera owners and they deserve kudos for it.
Digideep.com BOOT Expo Coverage
Our friends from www.digideep.com are at the BOOT 2005 showing in Duesseldorf Germany this week and have posted their preliminary show report with the very latest news of "what's up" in the underwater photography world. Check their report often, as they are posting updates as they become available. For now the text is only in German, but I'm sure an English translation will be available soon.

Seacam Subsea Systems (not to be confused with the other Seacam, an Austrian company) has posted information about its HD/F1 housing for the Sony HDR-FX1 & HVR-Z1U High Definition Camcorder. Check out their web site for more information.
Aquatica Kodak ProSLRn/14n Housing Review
Aquatica took a bold step by developing a housing for this camera without already having a large user base of camera owners and they deserve kudos for it. The camera requires extensive knowledge of post-processing, so it's not a good choice for digital beginners wishing to shoot JPEG for instant results. Consequently, I'd characterize this system (camera and housing) as a specialty niche tool

Jason Heller’s Tsunami Story
My good friend Jason Heller has just returned from the Similian Islands, where he was scuba diving when the tsunami struck. Continue reading for his account of his experience.
Excerpt: As an up and coming underwater photographer, I had planned on spending the week taking pictures of the breathtaking beauty of the reefs and island scapes, however, I spent the last 2 days documenting the devastation, destruction and compassionate rescue efforts that not even images can properly portray. We have experienced the two extremes of paradise. The idyllic beauty and the sheer destructive power of the amazing planet that we inhabit...
