    Duel YS-D1 sync problem

    I am looking for a little help with my Ys-D1's. Ive been shooting with them and the RDX housing for the Canon SL1 for a little over a year now. I purchased the system used from my dive shop owner but the strobes were my own from a previous set up with fewer dives on them. I always test my set...

    PADI in SSI out

    My LDS just dropped SSI for SDI. The owner was pissed about SSI being purchased by an equipment manufacturer. Can not remember which one. He was pissed that all the material showed this one manufacturer's equipment. Then he was also pissed that apparently you can no longer purchase physical...

    Looking for housing advice for Canon G16

    I recently began shooting the G16 with Fantasea housing and Sea and Sea YS-D1, so far it seems to be going well. I need to get the 67 mm thread adaptor and then the macro wet lens. I think any housing for the g16 would be too big for a pocket! I went with the Fantasea as it was not quite as...

    Sony rx100 vs canon s110

    Wow! Great pictures, and a lot to think about. On top of adding the olympus to the mix, i just found out there are some great deals on a canon g15 with Fantasea housings. So instead of narrowing between the rx-100 and the s110, we have the xz-2 and the g15 to compare...

    Sony rx100 vs canon s110

    That is what I was originally thinking but I have been told the focus speed of the rx100 is very slow and not very good for macro Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free

    Sony rx100 vs canon s110

    I am interested in a uw camera set up something very compact that can fit in a shirt pocket while on land, at first I was in love with the sony rx100, all the mega pixels etc... But when I consider I like to mostly shoot macro and close shots, it was suggested to me that the canon has a much...

    Bonaire BBQ

    I agree the rib factory is very good. FYI drinks are not free refills. Me and two others drank $32 worth of iced tea after a long day of diving! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free

    Help for a nose breather?

    Thank you for all your thoughtful responses. Our biggest problem in upon entry and decent, especially giant stride. Her mask tends to fill up with water. When she does the mask test the mask stays on if she holds her breath but when she starts breathing it slowly looses suction and falls off...

    Help for a nose breather?

    Tons of leaking from masks, she dry fits a mask. Puts it on her face and inhales through her nose and it is fine for a couple seconds or if she is holding her breath, but when she starts breathing the mask falls off. This has led to a lot of leaking under water and her mask filling up especially...

    Help for a nose breather?

    My wife is having trouble with her mask. We have around 50 dives and she seemed to be fine, it turns out she was super tightening her strap, so when she switched to a slap strap the problem worsened. We tried three different masks, all fit fine in the shop but give her trouble under water. Then...

    Tennaco Towers

    Thanks for the info. Just wanted to make a smart dive plan. I am assuming we will be doing one dive on each of the shallower two towers. I was thinking of dropping down one side of the tower, coming up through the stair case, working my way to the top. Ideally so the beginning of the dive is the...

    DM blew me off

    I took a six class over three week standard course. I felt my instructor glossed over a few key things. What did I do? I dove within my comfort level, yes following a DM around. Now after 12 months and almost 60 dives I am very comfortable in the water, diving from boats, shore, at night and...

    Testing the Sealife Fisheye Wide Angle Lens (SL975)

    970-increases field of view by 50% 975-increases field of view by80% It is wider! I have a 1400 so I had to wait for the 975 as the 970 is not compatible or you get the vignetting which is the black area around the outside of the photos. Sent from my IPad using Tapatalk
