The other reason why i tend to avoid beach diving even when the housed SLR and strobes are not a problem is that about 12 years ago, i blew out every single #$%^#$%^* piece of cartilage and ligament in my knee. Every single piece (ACR, collateral, all the menisci) was yanked out in one long arthroscopic surgery and never replaced. That makes waddling out of the water in the shifting sand with a bunch of lead and steel and neoprene reeeeeal enjoyable when my bad knee is held together by nothing other than locally overdeveloped muscles. Still, the calamari are worth it.
