    Heart Rate Monitor - Anyone used a no-diving HRM?

    I'm just interested to know whether anyone has tried using a "standard" HRM to dive in. I'd really like to use one to monitor exactly what stresses I'm going through specifically for teaching and can't afford the super all-in model like the Gallileo My HRM only states "Water resistant to...

    Ikelite case for Canon S-90

    Dear Ikelite Should the black plastic retaining nuts, which appear to be there in an effort to retain the mount fixing nuts in place inside the case, themselves be fixed to the case? Mine aren't and have a habit of coming of inside the case during a dive. If so, any ideas because mine are...

    Sola 600 - top tip for charging after a period of not being used

    Hi I have a Sola 600 which I have only used once and then, on returning from my dive trip, charged up once and put away in the dive camera box. It had been there about three months. I took it out today to charge it up but it didn't seem to be doing much. Green light on the charge unit but...

    Canon 7D lens

    Hi all I have a 7D with the Hugyfot housing with twin Inon Z240's. I've only done about 25 dives with it but it is fabulous! Lenses I have are the Canon 60mm with Macro and the Canon 10-22. First set of dives with the 60mm were real "OMG" moments - cannot believe how good this is. I found the...

    Marine Biology - Distance Learning or On-line questions

    Hi Thanks for your reply - I think you are probably right. I guess I was hoping for a summer school type environment to try and achieve that but its probably not viable unless I pitch in full time or try and build a course as it were from series of units. I may just go and do some separate...

    Marine Biology - Distance Learning or On-line questions

    Hi X That's a really good question! There is nothing special - I had hoped that specialities might have come out in due course of study. I guess like all divers is fundamentally about conservation, doing my bit etc but I do definitely like the physical science side - there is a fascination there...

    Marine Biology - Distance Learning or On-line questions

    Thanks Lemna (thanks for pm!) I have had a look at those and in the case of Berkeley its a part unit over 6 months. Its certainly an option but I'm rather hoping for something more structured over a longer period. However I might be living in a dreamworld :) Scuba_dog

    Diveross Cases

    They appear to be coming up around the €750-800 mark without ports. I believe at this time its Europe only but I imagine they would ship. Each case is built to order and they support quite a range of cameras. Just found an outlet in Asia. I'm told there is a dealer in Netherlands which I may be...

    Diveross Cases

    Hi all - Just to see if anyone has had any experience with these custom built cases from Italy? I'm sorely tempted to upgrade to a Canon D500/500 with one of these. Diveross underwater tecnology, photo and video housing | Plastmeccanica s.r.l

    D6 - Elastomer strap - screw fitting

    Not so much an ask as a tell. For anyone looking to change their elastomer strap, having bought the kit, the extremely small fixing is a bit annoying because you may not have anything in your tool kit small enough to open what is best described by me as a "6 sided star bolt". It is TINY...

    D6 Gauge mode - Why 48 Hours No-fly?

    I hereby confess that I feel really stupid for doing this but felt I should post because it may avoid anyone else making the same mistake.:dork2: Just had a brilliant weeks diving in Gozo but on day 1, just because it was there, I decided to have a few free dives and see how deep the bay in...

    New dive computer

    I own a D6 but have played extensively with a D4. I can't speak of the others. I had a Suuno Gekko prior to the D6. In my opinion it comes down to whether you want to wear the device outside of diving. If you do then the D4 is a great choice if not then the Vyper would be terrific. The...

    LOL! You know I didn't realise there was an IMPERIAL RDP until a few months ago?!!!! Welcome to Europe! Seriously, thanks for your reply - its really not a huge deal as all the readings are on the safe side in any event but I was just intrigued. Fully understand the dev costs and I hope you do...
