    What is the oddest thing you've found on the bottom of the ocean?

    This summer I found a Olympus Wide-Angle lens in the Flower Gardens - with no name/address. It fit my video camera perfect - that is until I lost it this fall in the Florida Middle Grounds! ha ha

    Black Diamond vs. Apeks WTX3

    I recently gave up my Black Diamond for the Apeks WTX with the WTX3 cell. Black Diamond: Tons of pockets for storage Way too bulky to pack for trips Apeks WTX/WTX3: No pockets Don't like the donut shape of the cell Easy to pack/store Crotchstrap is great.

    What wide angle setup

    I talked with someone at Ikelite last week concerning a W/A lens for the Sony HDR-HC1. He informed me that they are currently working on a lens that will fit inside the housing. He said to look for it within 3 months.

    Niterider Divelights

    All, If you haven't experienced NiteRider - Divelights International, I highly recommend them. I have 4 Blackwater 3000's, and a HID Pro20 Video Light system. I almost always carry 2 of the 3000's everytime I dive. As far a support/warranty goes - Henry cannot be beat.

    Suunto Vytec Shows 422 Feet on Start Up... HELP!!!!!

    My Cobra did the same thing....took it back to my Authorized Suunto dealer - no questions - got a new one. I have heard this situation occurs when a slightly larger battery is used as a replacement (user error) and it presses on the depth guage - causing it to fail.

    NiteRider 3000 battery replacement?

    I think for $150.00 Henry at www.niteriderdive.com will replace it, and I believe return shipping is included. Why waste the time and effort.
