Taken the photographic plunge!
Well, I've gone and done it and put in an order for a camera and housing. No longer Tim's camera bitch - he can carry his own bloody lens cap from now on!
 As they say, if you can't beat 'em . . . So I will soon be joining the fraternity of diving photographers. On Tim's recommendation I've gone for the Fuji F810, which looks like a cracking piece of kit for the money, but the housings for it are proverbial rocking-horse-doings at the moment. Could be weeks before it arrives but just couldn't find anyone who had them in stock. If any of you see a Fuji WP-FX701 housing anywhere, for anything close to £130, then please let me know. I really want to be sorted for the middle of October when we go away but ideally would like one before the end of next week.

Sorted now, thanks. Camera and housing now both on their way and should be in my hands for my Scapa trip in a couple of weeks.
