Kind of you to say so.    I've always used the Ikelite housing for my 
Nikon FTn SLR.  Generally speaking, I use a 24mm Nikkor lens (with a dome 
port) for normal reef scenes, and a Nikkor 50mm lens (with a flat port) for 
fish portraits.  I use the 50mm lense with extension tubes for macro work.
I've got an Ikelite 225 strobe that I use together with a smaller slaved 
Ikelite strobe for fill flash.  I have a Mini-C halogen light strapped to 
both of the strobes for modeling lights as well general get around lights for 
night diving.....the built in modeling light in the 225 doesn't cut it in 
daylight.
Needless to say, I carry enough crap to sink a battleship.  People get out of 
my way when I stagger through carrying the contraption, but I've sure gotten 
some sweet shots with it.  I generally shoot with Ektachrome 100 and then 
have maybe 1 slide out of 36 blown up into a 11X14.  (I tend to be a mite 
particular.)
I've got many a shot that I'd stack up against anything on the cover of Skin 
Diver.  Got a hernia, too......
