JT, the camera is a Fuji FinePix A500 enclosed in a case rated to 3m underwater. The camera and case package is presently (or was) on sale at Harvey Norman for around $260.
Richo, glad you like the pics. I do too.
"Notice you've covered the rear well on both espri's thats a top idea"
When I first got my Espri I recognized that it lacked flat deck space on which to easily attach things (Gaff, knife, etc, etc -- the list grows). And I needed a fish box too so I bought a sheet of six ply for $10 and cut two pieces out of it. The larger piece covers the front of the tank well and the smaller piece the back. Both are held down with bungee elastic and the front one is openable to the front, and serves as the doorway to the tank well cum fishbox. The rear one is openable to the rear and serves as a convenient door through which to remove the fish once ashore. The openings can be secured so they don't come open at the wrong time eg if I get inverted in the surf. The resulting flat platform is a very convenient attachment point for anything you don't need to be able to see to use -- just reach around and grab the gaff for example...
YakAtak, "Is the legs over the sides a surfers trick?" Pete thought he'd improve his stability by putting his legs out the side but he also disastrously increased the drag. The next pic, which I didn't post, shows him about to fall out after being pushed backwards by the wave. I personally wouldn't advocate legs over the side, especially when leaving the beach...
