Hi Chris,
I'm just trying to follow how you've rigged things up wiht the regulator.
Are you just using a normal reg and pointing the mouthpiece at the film
before pressing the purge valve?  Or have you rigged up somehting else to
feed the mouthpiece flow into a nozzle?  I have diving regs; maybe I could
get a second hand pony tank.  It's easier for me to rent a tank when I want
to dive, so I haven't bought one.

PS What camera gear do you use underwater?  I've tried Sea&Sea cameras, but
haven't had the chance to try a Nikonos.  I'm looking to get a case for my
DV camera but that's moving pictures not stills. :)
