    After two weeks sailing in the sunny Mediterranean, I thought I'd share some shots with you good folks...

    The two underwater shots were taken with the help of an EWA Marine housing, which is slightly cumbersome to use (and you can only really shoot on the P setting), but does a good enough job at keeping the camera nice and dry.

    Wow, that is some shallow water! How close to the shore were you at that point?

    I love the shot - thanks for sharing.

    Your use of the word "enough" worries me though...

    :D Sorry, my mistake. You can happily omit the 'enough', because that housing keeps the camera dry all the way. I pushed it underwater all the way several times, and it was no problem at all.

    We were about 35 meters from the beach, quite close. The water was maybe 3.5 meters deep :eek: Our skipper is a bit mad, but knows what he's doing :D

    I think the shadow of the boat makes it look shallower than it is, but tricky to know for sure

    Water looks really clear, cool shots

    I love the first one, could be used on a brochure for sailing in the med.
