Here is a link to my Bonaire Trip Report Bonaire Trip Report

Just got back from my first trip to Bonaire, and I must say it exceeded all of my expectations; I am now asking myself why it took me this long to get there! We stayed at the Belmar and accommodations were very nice. We had a first floor room that opened up right to the water, where every...

Well it looks like I have lost the magnet to my D2000 that disables the Advanced Cancel Circuit. I am using my Canon in Manual mode and as a result there is no pre-flash and because of that it is recommended that the ACC is disabled. If I don't and use the D2000 in Auto mode and match the...

I have a Canon S50 / DC300 housing / D2000 and shoot RAW and need some advice... I have done extensive research on all of the past posts on camera settings and feel I am proficient enough to shoot Manual (adj aperture and shutter speed, iso, etc). However it seems as though I am limited by...

So I dive with a DSS BP/W and love it. I am leaving for my first trip to Bonaire July 7th. So I went out to our local dive site here in Dallas to get wet and do a pre-trip check out dive. I am setting up my tank and stuff and go to get my BP/W to put on the tank and I see my inflator hose is...

I will be travelling to Cabo (end of Feb) on my company's dime and want to take advantage of it and get a couple of dives in. I have dove there before and know what to expect from scenery to water temps. In the past I have worn a 3 mil full and a 3 mil shorty, however, I have recently...

I have been playing around with underwater photography and have come to realize I am still very much a novice. However, I am wanting to become more proficient and realize good photo editing software is a must (atleast for me ;) ). I am using a Canon Powershot S50 with its matching housing and a...

I am in need of some help....Early this year my wife bought me a custom Whites Drysuit (I am 6' 7" 290 lbs) and unfortunately I have not been able to use it yet. I am leaving for the San Juan Islands, WA tomorrow and have made arrangements to take a drysuit class with Island Dive on Friday...

As you can tell I am a proud diver Daddy....can't start them too early can you :05: Hope I attached the picture correctly.

I am using a SeaLife Digital Flash (SL960D) with a non-SeaLife camera. So I will have to tape the fiber optic sync cable over the camera flash. With the strobe, I received 4 “rubber” adhesive patches that work well, but there are only 4. I was wondering what other types of adhesive will work...

I am scheduling a trip with my wife and another couple to Bonaire. In order to help with some of the expense, we were thinking about staying in the 2 bedroom apartment at Buddy Dive Resort. My question is does anyone know if there are two bathrooms in the two bedroom apartments as well? I...

I have a Canon S50 and I don't think you can set BOTH the aperture and shutter speed. For the life of me I have tried. You can set the aperture and the camera auto sets the shutter speed and vice versa. My question is what is more important to set manually; the shutter speed or the aperture...

I have searched for any information on Caribbean Divers, but was unsuccessful, so I will post my question here. I will be in Cozumel June 14-18 and have found a good deal with one of the LDS here is Dallas, TX. I have been to Cozumel and have used several dive ops (Dive Paradise, BlueXT...

I was given a Coolpix 2000 and would like to use for diving. I am still a novice in regards to underwater photography and felt this would be a good camera to just get started. Since this will be my "test" set and will upgrade later, my question is...are there any dealers that sell the #6182...

I am trying to get our and do some diving in the area and was wondering what everyone's take is on CSSP and Athens. I live in Waxahachie so the drive time is pretty much the same to either. I understand that CSSP is colder but has fish. Ahtens is warmer but has no fish. I know there are...

I was reading a recent thread in which a diver had to be life flighted to a hospital. I guess my question is who decides when flying a diver (post-dive) is appropriate? I know that there is a risk assessment between the divers health and chancing additional injuries by flying after diving...

I wear booties and they always fill with water - understandle. However, I read that you can heat a nail and put holes in the rubber soles of the booties for drainage. I normally just take them off and pour the water out, but just wondering if anyone has done the same or similiar. Thanks...

Hi y'all, Just wanted to drop a line and introduce myself. I currenlty live in Waxahachie, TX, but work in Dallas. I was certified NAUI OW in ’94 (my wife as well) in Austin, TX (Lake Travis). My first dives were in Travis and the SCUBA bug bit me hard. Unfortunately or fortunately my next...
