I am interested in doing some underwater photography when I go
diving on my vacation this year.  I would appreciate any information
on the subject.  I am especially interested in

	1) What camera do you recommend?  Have you had good
experiences with a particular kind?

	2) Do you recommend an underwater camera or a watertight
enclosure?

	3) Do you recommend a rigid case or the baggie style
enclosure?  (My camera is a Leica CL, a compact rangefinder body
with interchangable lenses)

	4) Can you use available light or do you need to strobe for
the color balance?

	5) Is there any special impact on film selection?

	6) Do you recommend any particular focal length lens?  I can
guess long telephotos are a bad idea but what about moderate
telephotos (like 90mm) or moderate wide angles (like 35mm?)

	7) Can you rent equipment?

Thanks in advance.  I will summarize mail replies or post them to
the net.
