Glad you like them:
I am using a Nikon D7000 in an Ikelite housing with a Nikon 60mm macro lens and two DS 51 stobes. I have the ISO set at 100 and vary the shots with the camera set on M.

Please check out my YouTube page quickpix123 for much more including Video Macro.

You are absolutely correct on the insurance.
I am a member of DAN, primarily a medical support group offering insurance and medical assistance to doctors in case of a diving accident . Dan also offers the best equipment insurance available to divers. If you are a diver you should check them out.
Price for my camera $7,400 @259 per year, cash pay- deductible.

Here are a couple more macros

No new forum, there are several of those already.
Maybe something on this forum??

I used live view and manual mode.
Focusing is the hard thing, it is hard to see that little screen when you are moving around in the surge.
I started with Nikonos cameras and film - remember film?
Digital offers so many possibilities with unlimited numbers of pictures.
The 60mm macro and the 105mm macro lens are the two choices. The 60 is super sharp!
I use a Tokina 11 to 16mm for the wide angle along with a large dome port.
I would like to start a new thread as you suggested, I have experience to offer.

How do you start a new thread?

Please check out the GoPro pix.
I know it doesn't really count as a great camera but it is amazing and the places it can go??
I have just received the new flat port housing from Eye of Mine.
I am taking it to a couple of cenotes tomorrow and may post something ( vids) tomorrow nite.
If you are on the cutting edge of photography, you must consider this.
Getting this housing delivered here in Mexico was a fete of magic?
I really appreciate the feedback on these photos.
