SeaLife Digital Kit This little 2.1-megapixel digital point-and-shoot is so much fun that I shot 153 images in a 35-minute dive. The powerful external flash had plenty of power for the camera. At this level of resolution the digital diver can expect up to 300 frames available on the tiny 128-mb San Disk Card. (The camera prompts you to save or delete after each shot.) The monitor on the back is plenty bright and the internal flash of the digicam fires the slave-activated accessory strobe (no sync cord needed). Putting the system together takes less than five minutes, and after all my years operating professional systems with their arduous prep processes, I must admit that I loved the carefree way the SeaLife went together before the dive. I also enjoyed the instant gratification of seeing my pictures along the way. Clay Wiseman
