Housebroken bulls are not typical. If they'd used range bulls, the outcome would have been dramatic - but not as entertaining for the show's mission I guess. I could tell some stories...This was on MythBusters... the bulls were like ballerinas - nothing broken!
unless its a Sealife that does not require lube but still requires a clean O-ring & slot, well seated & closed, and more.
Cameras without a flash will perform best in shallow water like 25' or less. Not many spots that shallow in Coz. Otherwise you need a strobe or you loose all the red. Photography takes practice and a bunch of equipment.
Good Luck
Ginger... snapped... Good one.Ginger may have snapped a little, and I KNOW Christi meant to be helpful, but it did sound condescending to me. I can understand her being a little put off by it. I know Christi didn't mean it that way. Maybe it is a PA thing... I bought a case for my Canon and took it to my pool sessions in OW. I took picture on my OW dives. I brought it with me to Cozumel for my first dives after open water. Been diving with a camera ever since. It isn't one of those giant arrays, but I did get a strobe. I have seen a few newbie divers who would be better served by carrying a camera rather than failing their arm around all the time.
Ginger forgive Christi, she really did just mean to be helpful.... The rest of you don't wipe the floor with Ginger because she objected to the tone. She is from Philly and knows to SHOOT first.
Correct!Seriously? I wasn't supposed to lube the O-ring? Is that in the manual? I ask as I never read it.....
:laughing: So many get lost or flooded. Not me yet, but we all have out times - very often on the first trip.I did once lose it. I think it was AOW. I think the wife had it and wanted rid of it for whatever we were doing. We had landed in the sand for buoyancy stuff maybe? We had a coil with a dog clip on the end and the magnets to keep it close to the body when not in use. I carefully felt it hook to my D ring. I gave it several FIRM tugs to assure it was on there and left it hang. It was a little negative and started to float. What I didn't realize was that the little rod that come up to close the opening in the clip had sand or salt or something in it and didn't close. So it unhooked and started for the boat without me. I never saw it go. My DM saw and grabbed it about 20 feet up and returned it to me. She then hooked it to me.
Outdoor Equipment Rentals rents those, but I don't know if those are dive ready...?another option is to rent a gopro and get still shots out of the film
