Usually they take off when we jump in. It was cool to get some shots of them.

The main issue with the inons is overheating I think. On my tropical trips taking photos in 30 degree water burns out the flash tubes. It’s pretty annoying because I really don’t want to travel with the large ikelites, I have enough excess baggage issues already.

I’m shooting full manual so not using TTL at all. My Canon 5DII doesn’t have an internal flash so no fibreoptic connection for me.

I have dived Ewens but not got bird photos

Did you solve the problem with Inon strobes. Magnets? Service? Just poor compared to Ikelite?

I usually shoot on sTTL on Z240 Inons on a D800 using fibreoptic . I have had problems when using centre weighted exposure .
