According to Nikon, the Nik V body is rated to 50 metres.  Mine's been that
far with no trouble, but (as yet) no further - UK conditions normally don't
justify carrying a camera deeper than about 30-35m, due to lack of light and

narcosis - in fact, following from a recent thread, I'll confess that I
notice narcosis more when I'm carrying a camera, because I have to think
straight enough to play with exposures, strobe angles/settings etc rather
than just have a cruise round a wreck- I think the correct terminology is
'task loading'.

Has anybody taken a Nikonos  much deeper than 50m ? I'd be interested to
know any special preparation required, plus any info on housings that have
boldly gone...
