Yeah the DC600 is a great camera. I have one also. Check out my photos. They all are take with that camera. However I would suggest he buys a strobe for it. The colors will really come alive and you will have to do less color editing. The "sea` mode works good but pay attention there is a depth selector 25ft. If you white balance it every 10ft that works also. If you get a strobe make sure to use the external flash mode and have the flash preset mode set to zero. Found that out on my 3 day diving :( I was using the auto setting with the flash preset on 1 and I was just not getting thee color a wanted. Once you get it figured out it is by far a great camera. I LOVE IT. Happy Holidays Tony
