Doing the same trip first week in Aug at the same hotel. Booked dives with Dive Provo, they have a good reputation. Joe

Was in the same mind set. Tried all sorts of back mounts all were frustrating in some respect. Tried slinging a 19cf and never went back. A lot easier to do than you think even with a full size two strobe rig. Try it! joe

Not sure where you dive but it could be do to the pressure drop as your tank cools at the start of a dive. Joe

I have not been able to find a Zen 170mm dome for my Nex-7 in a Nauticam housing. Doing wreck week in BVI in a month or so and would love to use the lens. Are there any other options? I hear the S &S 6 inch acrylic dome may work but might vignette. Any suggestions? joe

I like all those things too, but this trip is about pristine reef. While all diving is good in my book, I'm kind of Caribbean-ed out at this point. Need more color and a ton of fish!!! Joe

Outstanding trip report. Thanks for posting, we arrive 8/5 - cant wait!!!

One month till we head to Wakatobi - kind of my dream trip. Have lusted over this trip for years. Will be with my GF woh is a new diver but eager for the adventure. Will be shooting stills and video. Have read every review know to man on the place hope it matches the dream!! Joe

Agree, you got us hooked - how was Wakatobi??? Joe

Great video's color is awesome. Looking forward to your Wakatobi report, I am making the trip in early Aug. Joe

All good advice - since I never cleared the card, I will try the iMovie import directly from the Nex-7 and see how that goes.

I guess need to look again. I had transferred the videos from the camara via lightroom and when I tried to open the files in iMovie it said the file type was not supported. I could be just doing something stupid!! Not the first or last time for that! Joe

So I am new to shooting video. Just stared shooting with a Sony NEX-7, while I bought it for stills, I love the idea of being able to shoot video. Just back from BVI's with a lot of clips from dives on the Rhone. Figured I would attempt some basic editing with iMovie only to find out it does not...

You are not alone on this. I use to joke that that's why I had a black mask - when I had a clear one people use to freak out about the blood in it. In my case as I gained more experience in equalizing the problem disappeared. Now if I descend slow I can equalize by swallowing and moving the...

Amazing video!!

Atomic is the Apple of dive equipment - they just get it. you will love it.

Always interesting to see how discussions develop and take turns along the way..... but I have a question: I dive with a pony and in the process of changing to sling mounting vs dealing with mounting it on my back, so whats the purpose of diving with the system closed but pressurized. I get the...

Spent over 30 years avoiding 483's, but have had my share over the years. I head up Quality for a mid size generic company. For those on SB who dont know about 483's it is the list of "observations" given to a drug/medical device firm at the end of an FDA inspection. Our tax money at work...

Yeah, good news redundant air - bad news diver suffers broken jaw due to projectile tank. LOL Thanks - that was what I was thinking. Joe

Have been diving with a 19cf pony for a while. Just like the confidence of a completely redundant air supply for bail out. Have tried a few back mounting options and find most of them a pain to get on and off as you switch tanks between dives. So going to give slinging a try. Have seen some good...

Why would you even consider this? Whenever I travel I just leave the port off. Also its easier do deal with the TSA questions then.
