Diving San Diego-Underwater Photography

Diving San Diego

While alway a great dive. destination people come to San Diego to experience diving on the Yukon, in wreck alley or diving the kelp beds of f Point Loma, looking for Photo ops off of La Jolla Cove, for what ever reason its where people come to dive.  When they come to San Diego they bring dive equipment and if nothing else they bring Photo equipment, from the dive shop  instant digital camera to some of the most of the expensive equipment around costing thousands of dollars. for my money I like the Equinox housings


Equinox is an underwater video housing manufacturer that specializes in building safe, durable and affordable underwater video housings dedicated to providing excellent customer service and innovative, quality products for the professional, leisure and sport divers trying to capture the next great shot!

Les Stroud , the Survivor Man, best known as star of the six-time Gemini nominated hit TV series Survivorman (OLN Canada, The Science Channel US, Discovery Channel International, City TV (Rogers) Canada), Les Stroud continues to forge new pathways as a prolific, creative force. He single-handedly created, produced, wrote, filmed, hosted, edited and composed the theme music for the first two original, one-hour pilots that would eventually become the hit Survivorman TV series. The only producer in the history of television to produce an internationally broadcast series entirely written, videotaped and hosted alone, Stroud is credited with starting a new genre of television known as ‘Survival TV’. Survivorman became the highest rated show in the history of both OLN Canada and the Science Channel US and among the most popular and highest rated shows on Discovery Channel US.

Stroud has appeared on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (3 times), The Ellen DeGeneres Show, MTV Live (2 times), The View, The Hour, and Larry King Live (4 times). In July 2010, Les was invited by the Prime Minister of Canada (The Honourable Stephen Harper) to meet the Queen of England and the Duke of Edinborough during their 2010 Royal Tour of Canada. Stroud’s commercial with famous Geico Gecko was referenced by David Letterman, Howard Stern and numerous other media personalities and he has been parodied on the hit TV sitcoms ‘The Office’ and ‘King of the Hill’.

Stroud has appeared in and/or produced numerous television specials including hosting the 20th Anniversary of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week (2007); I Shouldn’t Be Alive: the Science of Survival (2008), Surviving Sharks (Shark Week 2008), Expedition Everest, Surviving Urban Disasters, After the Experiment (Discovery), Deadly Waters (Shark Week 2009), and “Off the Grid with Les Stroud”. In 2010, he earned his seventh Gemini nomination as Executive Producer/Host of the hit kids TV series ‘Survive This’ and ‘Survive This 2’ (YTV, Cartoon Network). He is also Executive Producer/Host of NHL celebrity survival series “Survival Challenge” (OLN). “Les Stroud Beyond Survival” (2010) earns Les another certifiable hit with ratings surpassing all movies and even sports TV on a couple of US airings, and becoming one of the highest rated programs on Canada’s OLN.

Celebrated keynote speaker, musician and author, his debut book: “Survive! – Essential Skills and Tactics to Get You Out of Anywhere–Alive!” (Harper Collins) made the bestseller list for 20 weeks and broke the top 100 on Amazon.com. His latest book “Will to Live” (Harper Collins) had already sold 20,000 pre-ordered copies before hitting bookshelves across Canada November 6th.

Musically, Stroud has worked with the top in the business, including Alice Cooper, Robby Krieger, Tommy Shaw, Steven Stills, Canadian’s The Northern Pikes, and renowned producer Terry Brown. Continuing through winter 2011, Les will be back in the studio and focused on music. Working with the management team at SRO Anthem (best known as Rush and Steven Page’s management), Stroud’s next challenge is an exciting new album and multi-media tour, heavily influenced by indigenous sounds and images collected from his Beyond Survival travels around the globe.

A proud member of the Explorers Club, Les contributes to dozens of charities and benefits, and is a Survival Specialist Instructor for the Canadian Armed Forces. writes that “I have had the chance, while filming underwater around the world, to work with many brands of housings. When it came time to owning my own, I went with Equinox. They simply gave me the durability, quality and security I needed for some pretty intense work. It’s simple” a wet camera is a ruined shoot and possibly a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Equinox Housings protect me from that.”

Once you decide on a becoming a proud user of the Equinox Housing They have a unique retrofit program, that is offered on all PRO and HD 6 housings. With camcorders being updated and new releases hitting the market almost monthly, customers want to be able to update their gear without having to take a significant financial hit. With the Retrofit Program you can update your housing for approximately half the cost of a new housing

I have seen Many Underwater videos through many housings the clarity and lack of corner shake that you find in some housings mean the monitor does not fit perfectly into the housing a problem you won’t have with Equinox Housings, you will produce Videos such as this one

Camera & Housing packages are available from Equinox Housings They will fit a camera and housing to fit your needs  no matter if you a professional trying to capture shots for a article in a magazine or just some one trying to capture a moment in time, on the perfect vacation making a lasting memory Equinox Housing will be the right choice for you.
