Rating: Pro Flash is a bright spot
Reviewer: William Manifold, Tuesday, December 06, 2011
The Sealife Pro Flash is simple to use, highly adjustable, and reliable. It attaches easily to Sealife cameras and even works beautifully with my Canon Rebel Digital SLR. It has a dial, for quick and easy intensity adjustments, that is as easy to use underwater as on dry land. The flexible handle allows you to get just the right angle for the flash so you dont wash out the image. Since the Pro Flash is activated by the built in flash of your camera the system will work with any camera that has a built in flash making the Pro Flash highly versatile. I enjoy my Pro Flash and recommend it to anyone for use in or out of the water.

Rating: Good overall
Reviewer: Ramon H., Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - View all my reviews
The flash is well built and given the power, you have to get very close to subjects to get a decent picture. I would prefer the handle to be stiffer, since when you grab it the weight of the camera easily bends it. There is a learning curve to use it properly and effectively, but at the end it truly improves you pictures.

Rating: Flash came apart
Reviewer: Alex Urdangaray, Sunday, March 27, 2011 - View all my reviews
It appears to be a nice unit, but whoever assembled the product did not tighten the screw down that holds the top part of the flash to the flexible arm. Eventually the screw backed out completely and the top seperated. Lost one fo the connecting knuckles. Fortunately, the flash part was caught before falling into the sea. This was the first time use. Now I have to contact Sealife and hope they will warranty the part or buy it out right.

Rating: Needed help with Flash
Reviewer: Lester McDonald, Saturday, July 31, 2010
Called and asked about a simple flash. By simple I mean simple for me to understand.I have had underwater flashes that I had my dive shop get me. Mistake number one. When i called they said this Sealife Pro Flash will work on my Olympus case and camera. Had trouble at first. Called, they gave me number to call. Found out I was at Fault. Yes ladies I am a man saying "my fault." Did what the man said and can hardly believe how well it works now. I had my SLR on the wrong setting. Flash is perfect. I can even use out of water with my SLR.

Rating: Easy to Use
Reviewer: Jacqueline Lightner, Friday, January 15, 2010
I am very excited about my Sealife Digital Pro Flash. I am a novice underwater photographer and found that I needed more flash for the limited vis in Northern CA waters. It was easy to set up with my Sealife DC1000 camera and I am impressed with the power it has to light up the subject. Great flash and I would highly recommend it!

Rating: SeaLife pro flash
Reviewer: Jeffrey G., Saturday, July 11, 2009 - View all my reviews
I used this strobe with my SeaLife reefmaster mini for the first time on a live-aboard trip. With little experimentation with settings the pictures started coming out great. I would highly recommend this strobe. Most settings can be left at the default if used with a Sealife camera.

Rating: SeaLife Digital Pro Flash - Great Accessory and Easy to Use
Reviewer: Victor Alan Bargas, Sunday, June 07, 2009
Easy to use and makes a big difference when taking pictures. Compared pictures with and without external flash and there is a big difference. The colors are more vibrant. Wish I had the flash sooner than later. Great flash.

Reviewer: Laura Ferrell, Sunday, December 25, 2011
Was looking forward to using my new flash on my camera but on the first dive I flooded my housing. Ouch. Guess its time for a new camera for my new flash

Rating: Digital Pro Flash Review
Reviewer: Jennie H., Thursday, January 15, 2009 - View all my reviews
This flash works really well- adds a lot to the underwater pictures that you cant get from just the flash on the camera. The one problem Ive had is keeping the arm together (the piece between the base connected to the camera and the actual flash). I adjust the flash position to get the appropriate angle for whatever Im photographing. Invariably, by the end of the dive it has become loose again and I have to hold the flash. I found twist ties in multiple places down the arm solve this issue. There werent enough bands on that piece originally if youre going to be moving the arm while underwater. That being said I have recommended this flash to several of my diving photographer friends who like to take medium range shots adn dont want to break the bank to get them.

Rating: Sealife Digital Pro Flash
Reviewer: Charles K., Wednesday, November 19, 2008  
Was more than pleased with my new Sealife Digital Pro Flash. Of course it is a perfect match to my Sealife DC800 8.0 Megapixel Camera. Instructions were easy to follow and I was able to take underwater photos of a quality I have been unable to reach before. You can see some of my recent Key Largo underwater photos on my scuba.com diver website. ("Waxed dolphin or the Green Flash".
