Hello everyone! Unfortunately, I'm in a very large bind with my home mortgage, and the wife says the gear goes before the house. I was tempted to take the whole lot of it and run, but I guess I thought better of it, heh. I have for sale the following items (I know some are out of...

I use something almost just like Calles, called a snappy coil. It's two big stainless steel carabiner-like clips held together by webbing that meets a Nexus clip in the middle. Both Carabiners are hooked together with thick phone-cord like coiled wire. When you wanna shoot, you pop the nexus...

I am astounded every day by the difference every person's body plays in the sport of diving. It's almost as if nothing the Navy or PADI or anyone can come up with is truly a "safe" way to dive. If Narcosis is any measure of the difference in physiology, it would seem to me even the dive tables...

Great shots. Love the Octopus. Was there any natural moonlight for your dive or were you flashlights only? I can't believe those shots are from a sd750 - makes me really excited to get someone with clear water with my G9. There is too much backscatter stuff around here for any decent shots with...

Here are some shots and some clips in a compilation from my recent trip out to the Gulf. Visibility was actually a lot better than what comes through on the video, also, my conversion software to FLV really destroys the original video. You can see a few small flounder and some juvenile...

Hey guys! I'm down from good 'ol Georgia for some much needed vacation time. I'm planning on diving a two tank-er out to the Gulf and a trip to the Destin Jetties. I'll be using Emerald Coast Scuba. Right now it looks like the two tank dive will be Wednesday if they have a slot/boat and...

It took me a few seconds to see the crab the shrimp was on. Too cool.

"conditions and viz were not at optimal levels" You, sir, have obviously never been in a rock quarry. I would label said conditions and viz at about the most optimal I can imagine after my last few dives in the limestone pits =D. It's all in how you look at it, hehe. Amazing pics, I love the...

Ok - I know this is stupid, but at first glance I was like: "HOLY SH** THATS A FREAKING HUGE A** JELLYFISH."

One was in B&W on camera, one was done with the RAW Software Canon ships with the bundle. Yeah - I was about to swim through it and I had second thoughts, lol. Thats why there is a picture of the outside and not the inside =D.

Ok, all my pics and a short video are up from the trip to Alabama Blue Water yesterday. My strobe seems to have broken like 5 shots into the dive, so I was relegated to shooting fun stuff instead of testing out the rig. I'm going to have to send it back to Sea&Sea, as I cannot figure out...

How do you have the flash synced with the Camera right now? TTL? Cable? Slave? In any mode on the G9, you can push the control dial and cycle through the available flash options. (ON/OFF/AUTO). If your Auto mode is not flashing it's because you set it up that way, just turn the flash back on.

If you are wide open on your choice of cameras - I would say go find one that you like topside, and feel as though you could use while task-loaded, and then once you have a few choices, hit CNET or DCResource, and compare reviews on the models you narrowed down. Someone suggested Canon A...

I understand exactly what you are saying - but look at this way, for an extreme example. The remarks made by Hitler and Stalin may be "out of context" in 2008, but the message still comes across in the exact same manner, and it's still just as ****** up. The conduct displayed in what...

Out of idle curiosity - is there anything on the "O" worth paying the boat fees for as a non technical diver? I want to go there so bad, but I've heard that all you can see as a rec diver is the island. I'm not sure if thats worth the price of admission until I have been trained to do some...

As soon as you THINK about taking it off, bubble your nose just enough to keep the water out, and continue to exhale through your nose until you get it seated and situated with the hood. One full breath should be enough time to remove and replace the mask, even with a hood, if you control it...

Well, I've never heard of that technique, but I can tell you this. You will get used to the way the regs feel in your mouth. And you should ALWAYS attempt to purge/clear the reg before breathing in if it hasn't been in your mouth. And you will learn also - it's very easy to breathe from a...

I've tried voicemails, phone calls and email, but cannot seem to get in touch with anyone from DEPP. Once you sign up, how long does it take them to get back to you with a certificate of coverage or policy binder or something? I've called both offices and left messages for both and cannot...

It's a standard part of the PADI curriculum. It is done in Confined and Open water for every OW student. And it should be. It's an important skill to learn - as evidenced by the student who died. I'm not positive - but I would guess other agencies also require this. A "reasonably prudent"...

I thought those were Sand Tiger sharks? Whats a Ragged Tooth? Are they related?
