Not only fast, but they seem to know more about Olympus housing than
Olympus!

As stated these are run by Alan James and Heather Hammond, both accomplished
underwater photographers themselves.

I came across them some years ago and have found them to be extremely
helpful and reasonably priced. But of course reasonably priced all depends
upon your view of customer service and support. Here I cannot fault them
they go out of their way to inform you of all the pros and cons they listen
and understand what you are trying to achieve. They will help you understand
where you went wrong by assessing photographs and they even support issues
with computer software when you are trying to print etc.

Their range of courses is helpful, they are alined to a local underwater
photography club and they run photographic holidays aimed at improving your
results, we went on one to Ireland after starting and it significantly
improved our results.

Even when I had a recent serious problem with a digital camera I bought they
were only concerned with putting it right, to my satisfaction without any
prompt from myself. I can positivly recommend this outfit, I would not buy
elsewhere, even if cheaper.

highly recommended, look out for them at the dive shows if not from the
south west. I f you are in the south west they are easy to find just two
minutes from the M4-M5 interchange: From J16 of the M5, follow the A38
towards Filton and Bristol. They are in the first rank of shops (with its
own slip road) on the left, after the first Esso garage (on left).

I visited both Alan James and Cameras Underwater at the Birmingham dive show
looking for a strobe - it was nearly £60 cheaper from Cameras Underwater.

I also bought my housing from them about 6 months previously - phoned up,
gave my credit card number and it arrived 2 days later - excellent service
