Details |
Night dive. The main purpose of this dive was to test out my torches for night diving. I had the UK mini Q40 eLED plus on my mask, an Ikelite Mini C-Lite mounted on the DS-50 and used the modelling light on the DS-125. The combination of these three lights was satisfactory for both general vision and framing photographs. Additionally, the lights help me aim the strobes more accurately. |
