Yeah, I was thoroughly annoyed to learn that Apple still doesn’t support RAW for the TG-5. To adapt, I changed my settings on the camera to take each pic in RAW and JPEG so I can easily load the JPEGs to my Apple devices. Then I also load the RAW images to my hard drive using IMAGE CAPTURE (not...

I watched this video late Tuesday night, set my new TG-5 accordingly (with many stops and replays because it packed so much info into itself) then took it out yesterday for a beach dive. Thank you for the link because it really helped me!

...or is it Olympus who needs to update? Just picked up an Olympus TG-5 for beach diving but cannot find evidence that Apple supports RAW on the TG-5 yet. I tried uploading test shots to my MacBook last night and none of the RAW images would upload to iOS photos - only the jpegs uploaded...

Ugh. What a year.

I just posted this trip to the ScubaBoard calendar: Only 3 spots remain for this wonderful 2-day trip! A special raffle drawing will be held on the boat! Dive beautiful San Clemente Island via the Magician Dive Boat on a limited-load trip of 20 divers max, allowing for diver comfort and a...

Late April and especially May are the months most likely to suddenly turn green so you may want to have a magenta filter with you, just in case. As others have stated, our water has been especially blue and clear this past year. Spring 2014 was surprisingly blue throughout and we had only a...

Flippin' Fantastic FFFF NEWS!! While many Dive Boat "Magician" Fabulous Fun Fridays will remain Frontside Catalina like before, the First Friday of each month will now offer something different. Capitan Carl Mayhugh​ just gave new meaning to FFFF, now also called something like Fabulous...

Hi Divers! I just entered all the upcoming 2015 Magician Open Boats onto the ScubaBoard Calendar. We hope to see you on the boat soon! Maybe this Friday, 1/30/15? Deb Karimoto for Captain Carl Mayhugh www.CatalinaExplorer.com or www.MagicianScuba.com

Back to the original thread topic, the diver missing at Catalina. His body was found this morning at 100' by LA Sheriff Dept's Special Enforcement Bureau. http://t.co/H1klwtgrPZ My condolences to all affected by this week's 4 diving fatalities related to lobster opening season. Yes, 4. Please...

The initial news reports got it wrong. "What? That's in the invertebrate reserve!" was one of my initial reactions when television news reports first said the search teams were looking for the diver at Indian Rock, which we know is at the mouth of Emerald Bay in shallow water. I have since been...

Oh, sorry. The first occurred on Saturday at one of the islands farther north, perhaps at either Santa Cruz or Santa Rosa Island. I don't know details. Today's at Anacapa was handled by National Park Service. I can gather more info after I finish a few things. ---------- Post added October 1st...

USCG issued an update this evening stating that they suspended their search as of sundown. Sadly, USCG sent out a plea for safe diving practices earlier today with the additional news that another fatality occurred this morning at Anacapa Island so the count as of this afternoon is 3 deaths...

I see the scythe butterflyfish almost every visit to Crane Base but usually deeper, like 45-55 FSW. They are very shy so when I get to the right area I slow down and look into the deep crevices with a light that isn't too bright. Every so often they are also out in the open and even in pairs but...

Yes, it is a baby garibaldi and there have been tons of them recently along OC's coast and Catalina....and perhaps elsewhere!

The former 2-day trip was revised to a one day trip to SANTA BARBARA ISLAND on Saturday, 8/11. We will sleep on the boat Friday night and it will depart after midnight, perhaps 3 am. This dive itinerary is appropriate for all divers from recently-certified to long-timers. We expect to visit...

Come join Laguna Sea Dwellers on the Magician Dive Boat as we head to Catalina & San Clemente Islands on August 11 & 12 for an overnight trip with lots of diving opportunities. This dive itinerary is appropriate for all divers from recently-certified to long-timers. We'll depart mid-morning on...

Great dive report, Rosie! Thanks for the shout-out! You guys helped make a great diving week even more fun. I skipped diving today like I had planned so I can make some progress on some work projects and my Bonaire photos, notably the "wide-angle" ones of you and Jeff on the Hilma Hooker. Don't...

Beautiful report and pix, Craig! Thank you for sharing!

Divers, I posted a press release about recently deceased diver, Kenny Lee. I had requested it from his firm, LPA, and they asked that I share it with the local diving community. I am appreciative of LPA's assistance because it is important to acknowledge and honor our fellow divers and their...
