I couldn't agree more. Thanks for stepping up Liz! We tourist really appreciate your effort and your willingness to discuss this in an effort to improve things rather than trying to dismiss them like some do when a problem is reported. I will be stopping in to see your place on our next trip...

I need some help with batteries for my SP-350. I purchased it in 2006. I have not used the camera or batteries in 1 year. I usually use them 2-3 dive trips per year with the exception of last year (1-dive trip). When do I need to replace the batteries? Can I get what I need at Radio...

Hello all! Any info on Dive operations and/or dive sites out of Punta Mita would be really appreciated. Never been diving in that area before. Thanks in advance! B

Hello Fellow SB'ers. I am beginning my search for a honeymoon spot. We are looking for a place with possibly a room (hut) over the water. Leaning heavily towards Fiji, but we do have open mind to other locations. It seems that there are lots of islands in Fiji and I need some...

I'm going to be in Playa in a few weeks and wanted some of your opinions on diving Playa del Carmen vs. diving Cozumel. I have been diving in Cozumel numerous times with lots of different dive ops and hit most of the southern dive sites. I think we will end up diving the Playa side b/c of a...

Howdy friends! (from Texas). I'm going to be in Playa del Carmen later this month and I am looking for any advice on diving from Riu Palace Riviera Maya. I normally go to Cozumel. I have used, Scuba with Alison, Blue XTC, and blue angel and others. I love Coz. but it looks like I will need...

Gary, I was wondering what the settings are that you use for each of the 4 preset (my mode) configurations. I just got the camera (sp-350) and I am waiting on the housing and strobe. It sounds like you found a really efficient way to change the settings. Thanks

So, does that mean none in the Houston area? I met the reef photo guys at seaspace in houston a couple of weeks ago. They had an olympus setup with optical (I'll mess up the lingo here) strope connection and olympus housing. He said something about raw format and that the camera he was...

Where in the Houston area is a good place to look at and talk with a sales rep about cameras and underwater housings? I am considering taking the plunge into underwater photography and I want to look at lots of equipment and talk to the rep to get an idea of what I need/want. Thanks!

Not diving since last September is my hurry!(haha) I am having a hard time focusing on work as my next trip draws near. I'll manage, barely! B

Thanks to you all for the good info. I just get so darn excited when it comes to Cozumel & Diving! (haha). Any minute I'm not diving is one heck of a long minute! B

Don, I meant "white van" when I said bus. Oops! (haha) Anybody know how long I'm looking at as far the van ride is concerned if I'm staying at Casa del Mar? My girlfriend met me down there when we were staying at the Caribe Blu and she rode the van for a long time. B

I've ridden in the white vans with others and I have walked off the airport's property to grab a cab. I read somewhere that you can get a private bus to take you to your hotel. Is that true? If so, what is the cost difference between the group buses and a private one? I'm wondering what the...

Great to hear about the pool and walkway! What about the sand by the ocean? Thanks, B

Anyone have any info on the beach/bar area of Casa del Mar? I'm wondering if it is finished or if there are recliners out there. I read on Trip Adviser where it was not finished and that there was no sand yet. Thanks, B

I am still trying to figure this out. I was able to see the "bridge." But it would never let me download. One problem after another. I am going to try it again tonight. I got a cd that has a com port manager. That didn't help either.

I recently got a video taken during a dive and really liked it. However, the housing was rather large. If the housings were similar in size, I think I might like video.

I'm considering getting into underwater photography/video. I am torn between going with video over photography. Why would I want to go with one over the other? Thanks!

I'm considering my next camera purchase. I have the S30. I am looking at the S80 vs. the 700 IS. I am curious as to what anyone has to say about the pros and cons of one or the other. I see that the 700 IS has anti-shake and an underwater mode. Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all your help! I have been diving many times since my original post and the calf stretching was the fix I needed. Stretching just prior to diving fixed it. I do a 30-60 second stretch on each calf just prior to entering the water. Sorry it took me so long to write and to say thanks.
