The Zeeliner served Fire Island (Seaview and Ocean Bay Park) from 1958 to 1984. She was then taken offshore to become a reef, but the engines were shipped to Gulfcraft to be installed into the Stranger which was launched in the spring of 1985. Zeeliner drifted out of the reef area before finally sinking. I imagine there is nothing left of her empty wooden hull.

Underwater photography can be as rewarding as it is challenging. Once the realm of professionals and determined enthusiasts willing to spend thousands of dollars on specialized and esoteric equipment, this hobby is now available to the rest of us thanks to modern developments in inexpensive but capable digital systems.

2016 Update

There is no hope of keeping up with camera technology. This page is more about basic principles than the actual equipment, which will all be obsolete in six months. Actually, strobe lights haven't changed that much.
