Camera Gear Recommendations

A list of exceptional photography equipment I have compiled in the Amazon store.  I will update this list as soon as better cameras or lenses are available.

 

Here's our top 5 suggestions for a diver's new years resolution:

1. I will collect all trash I see underwater and dispose of them properly after the dive.
2. I will learn more about marine animals so I may lessen the impact of my presense in their environment.  I will also follow and support more ecological initiatives.
3. I will upgrade my diving knowledge and skills through NAUI continuing education courses.
4. I will venture and explore more dive destinations.
5. I will be a better dive buddy by giving my scuba gear proper maintainance and regular service.

Happy holidays from Hydrofit Scuba and Freedom Dive Tours!  Our heartfelt appreciation for all your support.
