Looks like BAX737 has traded his Nauticam in on an Aquatica.

I'm a little confused with what Dave Baxter is up to with D300s housing or housings???

Dave has made claim to owning a Nauticam Housing on his own website, but on Wetpixel Dave has turned up with an Aquatica Housing. Did Dave not like the Nauticam housing that protected his D300s down to 90 mts? Did he trade it in? Did he actually not ever own one?

Dave, you really should update your website.

Just got an email from Pete at Scubapix with the DHL tracking information for my Nauticam 7D housing. It arrived in Perth this morning at 0730 and only has one more flight to make it to Exmouth. If it makes today's 0945 flight from Perth it will be here this afternoon and I'll be able to take it diving on my day off tomorrow. Woohoo!! Pretty good service from Scubapix (and DHL) considering it was only shipped to Scubapix in Cairns last Friday.

My Nauticam 7D housing just arrived. My intial impression after unpacking it and having a quick play is WOW!! Build quality/design and ergonomics are excellent, better than any other housing I've ever used (including several Subal housings and an Aquatica).

That's great news - hopefully it might mean mine isn't too far away either. Looking forward to reading your evaluations once you get a chance to dive it.

Don't forget to change your signature before the nitpickers on here start making a song and dance about it.
