I have been on two trips since the lockdowns started and have come across people from Britain, Holland, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland and the USA. Since then some of those countries have enacted strict lockdowns. The British people wanted to go back before their options to travel back...

I just bought one of these cameras and it has so many options on it. Has anyone shot video with it underwater using video lights( solas 3600s)-if so, could you tell me what settings you would recommend as a start. It looks like you can go full auto in movie mode but I see there is an underwater...

I am researching my next video camera for a trip in January and would like to know the pros and cons for the two brands of housing. Both appear to be well made. I primarily want to shoot video- not still- and I am looking at the Panasonic LX10 and the Sony RX100 VII. I will have two lights which...

I was fortunate and had an opportunity to dive last month and so I went. I had an issue however that I would like divers to consider as they resume diving. My gear sat in the closet- still packed and ready for a trip that got cancelled last March. So when it was time to go- I just grabbed it and...

I got back last Wednesday from a 10 day trip aboard the Carpe Novo, It was their first trip since Covid closed everything down. There were a lot of protocols in place on the way to the Maldives - on the boat- and then home. I flew in on Qatar Air where everyone was issued a face shield. The...

I am looking for information about whether the seas are less high in late June-July and if conditions are generally the same between West Palm Beach or Marathon. I would like to avoid those 3-4" waves if I can and would like to go after the post-covid closure rush but before lobster season...

I have seen a lot of good recommendations on this forum after bad stuff happens and will implement most of them. I would also like to add these two: 1. Go to the US State Department web site and advise where you will be and when you are going. I don't know if this will mean more help for you but...

I don't see a lot about the liveboards in the Philippines- it seems like land based is what most posters have done. Is this a destination where you might as well stay with land based because you will see the same sites you would on a LOB? I have sometimes noticed that reviews on LOBs talk about...

I was recently on a LOB and saw a cool GoPro rig which looked delightfully small and easy to transport. I wasn't able to talk to the owner of it due to an unexpected problem on the trip so would appreciate any advice I can get here. I currently use a L&M Bluefin housing with a Canon HFS21 and...

Is it realistic to go on a dive trip or even a liveaboard if you do not have a buddy with you anymore? I do not want to be a problem for other divers. I am an experienced female diver with 800 dives so I should not be a problem but I don't know what all the considerations are. Any input/advice...

Does anyone have any feedback they can share on this boat? Also, I see if I do not have an AOW cert- I can only go to 85'- would this be an issue for the dive area?

Just spent 7 days straight diving with Starfish Enterprise and highly recommend them. Maggie, Adam and Will make a great team and we are planning to go out with them whenever we are back in Florida. Their boat holds 12 divers and they do a good job of keeping the groups separated. I have...

I love scuba diving and am excited to be returning to Little Cayman Beach Resort. I have tried contacting them twice to see if they would consider striping their tennis courts for pickleball and buying a net. have not herd back..am hoping that someone who is there or going to be there soon can...

I have been going to dive in Boynton Beach and Riviera Beach for years and am considering a change of pace. I love the reefs but dive with a buddy who likes to hunt lobster. Would either Key Largo, Marathon or Key West be a good option for both of us?

We just got back from Little Cayman and stayed at Little Cayman Beach Resort which was everything I had hoped it would be. Diving was good- food unbelievable- staff incredibly nice and effective. So my advice would be to go there to anyone who asks. I think the Oceanfront rooms are worth it...

I will be going there and was wondering if the people who get the tips want them given through the resort or separately to each group- dive masters, wait staff and housekeeping.

I have been using a Canon HFS21 in a Bluefin Housing and I am happy with it. I have been considering getting a backup camera and was considering the XA10 but see it is a lot more expensive than an HFS21. Does anyone know what, if anything, would make the XA10 a better choice? Shmuggy

My auction on a Fathom 90 Wide Angle Lens for Light and Motion housing ends soon on ebay. Thanks

Planning to go diving in Boynton Beach- last year the water was really warm- can someone tell me the temp now? Thanks.

Got back a week or so ago from this liveaboard which I would recommend. The diving, as expected, was great. We went to all the signature dive sites: Blue Corner, Ulong Channel, two wrecks, etc and with only 6 divers onboard had the dive sites pretty much to ourselves. There was one occasion when...
