I used a Canon PowerShot G9 for a few years and am considering moving up to DSLR. So far the D5200 seems to be the best bang for the buck, particularly taking into account low-light performance/sensor noise. While it's been several years since I last dove, and is still an open question whether...

Thanks for the replies, it looks like I have a bit of digging to do, yet.

Are there any other charities related to ocean conservation and dive safety that I should know about beyond the really obviously listed ones here? Project AWARE and so on have their own sub-forum so they're hard to miss, and DAN is certainly well known, but surely there are others worth looking...

I thought that looked like an Alex Jones rant, so I figured I'd google it. It shows up in 1.5 pages of google search results, verbatim. Of the examples I looked at, few attributed its source. I don't see a match on infowars.com, though, perhaps it wasn't sufficiently insane :-)...

Q: What kind of dumbass uploads child porn to their facebook and photobucket accounts? A: The kind they hire for airport passenger screening. (think about this one the next time TSA insists on giving your child a pat-down) Airport passenger screener charged in distributing child pornography...

Because the TSA never confiscates things.... :rolleyes:

Yeah, it's been my experience that some of them actually do recognize scuba gear. It's the ones that don't and confiscate it that worry me. The one time I had an agent searching my carry-on who didn't have any idea what my regulator was, there was another agent watching over her shoulder who...

From "You Are All Diseased", George Carlin: fV4qlooLzJ8

Do you really think that will make the slightest bit of difference? I suppose you are saying if you chose to fly, but it certainly sounds looked like you were implying that those who prefer not to bend over and take it up the ass are whining like children. I recently finished reading Jeff...

I haven't read the whole article yet, but I saw this quote: Roadmap to New Air Travel Security System Unveiled by Travel Industry, Security Experts | U.S. Travel Association

Picked up an acrylic (or maybe polycarbonate) jar from the Container Store. They also had glass, but the mouths were too small. The aluminum ones weren't particularly well built - the gasket wouldn't stay on. This one at least seemed to have a good seal on the lid. $15. Not the cheapest but...

The UK box is a decent suggestion, esp considering I have one around here somewhere.. from the SuperQ (before it was returned a couple of times as the reflector repeatedly delaminated). It's probably too small, but I'll have to find the box to be sure. I don't know if twisting the package will...

Ha! That's actually a pretty good idea, I must admit. :D ... too bad I don't have any liquor bottles with necks big enough to fit a hard drive through...

The intent is to see how the devices respond to being in an aquatic environment, and to be able to see the devices in operation within the case. Specifically, I want to stick a powered gyroscopic guidance system in the water, see that the gryoscope is operating, and observe the effects on...

In this particular instance, I'm testing guidance and stabilization hardware. One of the first items will be an attempt to use a gyroscope to stabilize a device in water. The gryoscopes might not need to be in water to observe at least the most basic stabilization, but when I get around to...
