Default Underwater Setup

Hi guys,

Need some advise on setting up for my Canon 40D. Currently I have 17-40mm and 100mm (Macro).
Thinking to get Sea n Sea housing but very lost which strobe to choose.
Any recommendations ? and what arm to use ?
Appreciate your comments..Thanks.

Hi, ask yourself how much are you willing to throw into this set up and work from there. There are too many choices to mention here.

I assume that you have put aside some investment for this...

If you dont want to waste money trying this and that, i recommend:

Arms: Ultralite arms.
Strobe: Ikelites. I used twin DS125 coz they are powerful enough for WA and i just love the warmth of the colours. I personally have not tried the 200 so i cannot advice. but since my set up for shooting macro 105 is already abt 8kg, im not sure if i want bigger strobes like the 200

Best place to go is oceanic focus to get pro advice...

Hope this helps
