    Is Canon exiting UW photography? Needlessly.

    Canon used to rule underwater compact cameras... Literally everyone i knew had them, and anyone with the competition's cameras was crap by comparison. tl:dr 1) Once-Click Custom white balance... Gone! 2) The SXX-S1XX line... Gone! ...with the compatibility with wide angle domes... Gone! ...and...

    2nd YS-01 failure due to moisture in main compartment :-(

    Has anyone else had any failures of their Sea & Sea YS-01 strobes? I've now just had my second one die. And it died in the exact same way as the first. First symptoms are that it keeps re-charging the capacitors when the switch is in the Off position. You hear the whine every now and again...

    YS-01 keeps recharging when turned off...

    One of my YS-01 strobes keeps recharging when it's switched off... If you turn the switch to off, the ready light goes out, it doesn't function when triggered by the cameras flash thru the optical fibre... BUT it recharges every 30 minutes or so, you hear the whine of the capacitors charging...

    Max Depth of Fisheye UWL domes... (in reality)

    OK, so the rated max depth of the Fisheye FIX UWL-28M52, like the UWL-04, etc, is 60m... BUT What might the max depth be in practice? Housings quite happily go way deeper than their max rated depths, with the first sign of 'problems' being a button staying in after pushing it, as their...

    Macro lens to pair with UWL-28M52/UWL-30M52 on Fix S100?

    Which macro lens would be best to pair up with Fisheye's new UWL-28M52 fisheye lens they're releasing next month? It says: It seem to be the same as the UWL-30M52 fitting wise? So if i want to swap from fisheye to macro, mid dive... which macro lens would be good to get? Here's Fisheye's...

    Going very deep with an S95?

    OK, so my beloved Canon WP-DC35 housing (And S90*), rated to 40m, has been down to over 52m and worked flawlessly, the buttons didn't appear to be sticking in at all! And no floods, obviously. It's clocked up a few 50m+ dives now, and many, many 40m+ dives, all without any sticking/flooding. I...

    Best 4 x AA cell light...

    What's the best light at the moment that takes 4 x AA cells? I've been using my UK SL4 eLED with rechargeable Eneloop AA batteries in C-cell adapter, which works very well, makes it nice and lightweight, and costs 'nothing' to run, but it's quite a handful for what it is... especially...

    Beware: premature Suunto D4 Strap failures

    I bought my D4 just after it was released and love it! But a lot less than a year later, the little strap-loop fell off... I never remembered snagging it and looking at it, the rubber didn't seem it's usual stretchy self. Never mind, i pinched the spare off the unused strap extension...
