I have received the +10 lens. Above water, it behaves as expected - it can focus at ~20cm (i was able to film a fly taking off and the wings are pretty clear). From this point of view, it is what I hoped it to be (focus at a larger distance than the Macromate, for shy creatures which are able to...

I use F1 fins with my drysuit. I find them better than the classic Scubapro Jetfin. My diving in F1s involves a lot of wreck penetration in tight spaces. I was never bothered by their length. Also, they are strong enough to kick in powerful current (the kind of current that makes the anchor...

Hello, Has anybody used (or at least held in hand) the new Seeker mask from Fourth Element? Any idea how the field of view compares to Atomic Aquatics Frameless? Also - is there any real logic behind having a green tint glass in temperate (green/low vis) water? They say it should improve...

Hello, I was looking at ways to film with a little bit of zoom underwater, in order to magnify some smaller subjects and I found two options from Backscatter: https://www.backscatter.com/FLIP-55mm-10-Close-Up-Lens...

I found this post to which I have replied a long time ago. As I see over the years people have added questions and replies to it, I thought this might be helpful for the future. If you are looking into more information about the wrecks on the Romanian coast of the Black Sea, here is my website...

This is my review of the Go Travel fins - as I found very little about them here. Most topics are about the Go Sport, their larger cousin. Normally I am using Scubapro Jetfins in wetsuit and Hollis F1 in drysuit, and I like both fins. I have seen the Go Travel fins first time 2 years ago in...

I was meaning outside of Thailand/Malaysia/Indonesia :-) After Raja Ampat, I want something even more far away, more primitive.. but I really don't have the courage to go to Papua New Guinea or Solomon Islands, after what I read about violence over there..

P.P.S. Tonga is the only place which seems to match a little bit my requirements.. Am I right?

Hello, After a few days of researching wikipedia/wikitravel I've got the idea to also ask here, because I have failed to find my answer. During the last 10 years or so, I made all my vacations in Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia). What I'm looking for: - a warm, tropical destination...

You can find cordura sheats for Green River knives here: Riggers sheath long- Subsupply Riggers sheath short- Subsupply The knife (specially the round tip version) is a great tool when dealing with wrecks covered in fishing nets and mussels. It's the kind of tool to hit into the wreck to take...

Can you measure the weight of a RC3 fin please, if you own them? Later edit: nevermind, found it on their website: it's 0.98kg for medium, 1.19kg for large, 1.27kg for xl

My recent Raja Ampat travel made me think that I probably exaggerate a little by traveling with Scubapro Jetfins :-) .. maybe I could have a lighter suitcase if I find the right fins for tropical travel. I am looking for a fin that can be used without boots (so full foot most probably, but...

On the other side, the L-f-m 3XML has 3*XML-II LEDs, while this one has 4*XML U2 LEDs. My LED knowledge is very limited, so I'm not sure whether XML-II is the same with XML-U2 or not (because if they are the same, it would be one supplementary LED). Now.. I'm not sure if one more LED means...

Hello, I have posted a question regarding this brand in the strobes/lighting section, as I was more interested in a video light they manufacture ( Anchor Dive Lights ). But seeing complete silence, I thought asking here a more generic question. Has anybody heard about Anchor Dive Lights ...

Hello, Does anyone know Anchor Dive Lights? Their name is unfortunately common enough so it's hard to find anything relevant on Google. Based on what I can see on their website, they seem pretty nice and I might be able to get one at a good price, but I am confused that they don't appear in any...

I do understand that visibility is visibility, full stop. The only thing is that it seems having some light helps the video camera sensor to capture the movie with less ISO-sensitivity related noise (the picture is more clear at low ISO). But unfortunately I am not an expert photographer, and I...

Hello, I have posted this thread but I think it was not the right place, in that area I see mostly nice videos and less technical comments: Video lights power in low-vis So, my question is - what is the really needed/required light output for poor visibility water (Black Sea). Think about...

Just to understand my amazement, this is the kind of video that I was "used" to see, when filming with no external lights:

Hello, Last week-end I was amazed by the video footage made by one of my dive buddies. He was using a GoPro Hero 3+ - and I always thought the action cameras cannot deliver enough quality in poor conditions. But the video he made was crisp and clear, at a depth of over 40 meters, in poor...

Hello Tobin, A happy LCD30 user for about 6 years, I'm thinking now to get a wing for doubles. My usual diving is in drysuit. Currently I'm using 6-8 kg of weight (13-18 lbs), depending on what else i carry with me (like reel, hammer, and so on), with a 15L steel tank (105 cubic feet in...
