Customer Testimonials
We picked ScubaBasics from a number of on line sellers due to pricing as well as the supportive emails prior to our initial purchase of fins and boots. Given the excellant way the sale was handled, we then decided to purchase a full dive set of regulators/computer. Once again the after sales service was excellant, with it arrriving quickly to Australia. The pricing was good compared to anything else we saw.

We then purchased a second set of regulators/computer as well as a BCD. Even with the falling Australian dollar the pricing was good. The team strives to help in any way possible, even to the extent to ring all the way from USA to AUstralia to clear up any little problems.

When my daughter and her partner decide to get into diving we will once again ask ScubaBasics to provide the equipment for us. Any additional equipment for ourself will come from ScubaBasics as they are an excellant company to deal with in every way. They will always have our full support.

The Ikelite DS51 Substrobe replaces the DS50, which has been a favorite of underwater photographers the world over. In addition to incorporating all the same great features of the DS50, the DS51 provides a Manual Exposure Mode with six (6) manual power settings in one-half f-stop increments for precise illumination of subjects underwater.

The compact, lightweight and affordable Ikelite DS51 Substrobe is an excellent choice for many underwater photographers. Its digital electronics make it fully compatible with digital cameras as well as traditional film cameras such as the Nikonos. The strobe can easily switch between TTL/Auto and any of the six (6) manual power settings for complete control over lighting the subject.

The DS51's intensity and angle of coverage make it equally suited for macro and general photography. The strobe's wide-angle diffuser increases the angle-of-coverage up to 80 degrees, softens the light and helps to reduce backscatter.

The DS51 Substrobe's power rivals strobes twice its size, recycles in a quick 3.5 seconds, and provides 200+ flashes on a set of batteries. Much shorter recycle times and more flashes per set of batteries can be realized during TTL/Auto operation.

When connected with a sync cord to compatible Ikelite housings, or the Nikonos camera system, the DS51 Substrobe offers TTL/Auto and Manual Mode. When used with other manufacturers housings, the DS51 Substrobe can only be used in the Manual Mode utilizing the six (6) power settings.

The DS51 is compatible with the Ikelite DS Sensor and EV-Controller. When used with the EV-Controller, the DS51 Mode switch is set to the TTL/Auto setting and the EV-Controller then provides ten (10) power settings in half-stop increments.
