Those flip adapters cost as much as the housing. Too bad I didn't use it soon after the purchase for first trip, as the defect become noticable during the another trip a little over a year after the first trip. Warranty expired by now. Maybe Sony can send or sell a replacement threaded cap...

I bought a Sony MPK-URX100A housing to replace an old Meikon plastic housing that I initially bought as a temporary unit because back then, nobody made a non-aluminum housing, which was giving me issues with shutter button not returning in its last few years. But after using the Sony housing for...

Just got back with 18 dives. It was not cold at all with a 5mm Henderson Thermoprene and a 5mm hood. Even most of the dives barefoot in full foot fins. The only time I felt cold is on the dive deck after the dive.

Just did the Southern Sport. The boat is very narrow so all the rooms ends up being pretty small. Accomondations were basic, but we were fed well. Nitrox was supposedly 29%, but drifted toward 27% at the end of the trip, but we still set it to 31%. Their reasoning is the evil dolphins that...

I looked at alot of options in term of staying somewhere before getting on the liveaboard in Sorong. I thought about Jakarta, but I was told it was just a industrial city with traffic jams anywhere you try to go, whether it is to the hotel or sites to visit. I thought about flying to Manado...

I was there in Dec 2022 on Mermaid, which I booked a couple of days before we were to board the Indo Siren, where it was cancelled due to engine problem. It was the first sailing for Raja Ampat since covid restriction was lifted. We did not see alot of things, even sending the drones to spot...

Where the liveaboard visit is all up to the captain. When I visited, they didn't do the north due to the wind. Didn't do Utila due to it not opened yet from Covid. Cut short Cayos/seamounts day due to increasing wind. Some sites were repeated (at least it was by popular choice) because they...

Do they have monopoly on the shark dive? I was on the Aggressor liveaboard and we did 2 shark dives during the week without any other party involved. I do remember when I was in Anthony's Key, they offered the option to do shark dive instead of the std boat dive. Being that one would lose a...

Actaully, that video was from 2023. Their facebook page was posting regular updates once every week or two, then went silent on Feb 27. I hope its not due to routine operational mishaps where the guest refused to get together for a groupie selfie.

I am wondering if the decrepit state also applies to their other ship Southern Sport. I am heading out to that boat and want to set my expectation. I presume the way the operation is run would be the same

I originally ordered online but it never arrived, they said USPS 1st class could take from 2 days to a month, it's closing on on 3wks. I searched online and it showed a few places that has it nearby, including Lowe's, Walmart and some computer store. I am also on Southern Sport, hence the...

4 sets of top, that's packing light. I am just bringing my 5mm, 7mm hood & gloves. Still not sure if I should go with neoprene socks and full foot fins or 7mm booties w/open heel fins. I think that is enough for the roughly 77 deg water. I am also ready to leave for my Apr 3-11 trip, haven't...

I shoot JPEG, that's why I want to correct the color as much as possible during shooting. There could be hundreds of pictures and videos to color correct from a trip, along with removing backscatters and fixing the lighting, I could spend countless hours fixing my pictures, which I don't want...

Hi, I just got an old RX100 III's firmware updated to 2.0 and noticed there is a White balance mode called Underwater Auto. I can't find any reports on its performance here, but Sony's website indicates it automatically adjusts the white balance for underwater shooting. I want to test it ahead...

The worst thing is that they strung you along, letting you think it was still sailing, when they don't even know if the engine part will fix the issue (they've been fixing the engine since Nov, so how do they know this is the final fix?). If the whole boat is chartered by the agency, hopefully...

So Nomad/Tripmate refused the refund or did you get refund and credit? I booked on the Southern Sport, and reading about all these stories, along with what might happen to the ship. I changed from Nomad to DiveAssure with its liveaboard coverage, which seems to be the only insurance that...

3 day trip to Socorro means 1 day of diving. Will they give you credit to a full length future trip or just give you partial credit where you have to pay to use them again? Do you whatsapp them regularly? I am concerned about my upcoming trip on their Southern Sport boat. They were regularly...

Since I had a trip coming up in a couple of weeks,, I had to quickly decide on one of the path: get action cam or my existing panny point & shoot and rig them with my strobe/video light, solder a new flex cable on the RX100 and stick it in my old housing or get a newer version of the RX100 to...

I wonder why Nauticam housings were so specific to each model while other mfg could have housings that spans multiple models. I see the dial on the V shifted slightly compared to III/IV. A rubber ring turning the dial from the top could turn off-center by a few mm and not a difference. Also...

Thanks, I saw that. I think if the target you, there is no way to get out of it. Not sure if they are still targeting divers now like they were a few years ago. There is conflicting discussion of whether the camera should be in the case. Some say they break gear up and stash individual...
