Underwater Photography or DIY - I'm not sure, so here is my DIY Snoot It is composed of a 2-part Canister (Cap and Tube) an Attachment Clip System, and a set of Fibre Optic Armatures. This is my first Snoot (as well as my first Strobe). The Snoot is made specifically for the Inon Z330 Strobe...

I was looking to move from a Jacket style BCD to a wing style and have been looking at the simple travel friendly (OMS IQ lite or similar) systems incorporating single tank doughnut style bladders. For some reason though they all rear dump Left Side. When holding your Camera rig (tray mounted...

I have been using a Suunto D6i for many years and had been very happy with it and had no issues - before sending it back for the recent re-call. On return of my Computer and Transmitter I went on a 4 week journey where my newly serviced Computer lost pairing 4 or 5 times, thrice dry and twice...

Does anyone out there use a Suunto D series on the Android mobile platform? Does it work? Can you plug in the cable to a tablet's micro usb with a USB to MicroUSB plug? I've rather had it waiting for Mac to put out a unit similar to the 'Surface' and I can't find a way to get my dives directly...

I am setting up my first Strobe Arm with a shiny new flash!! I see the expensive tube arms and the solid and soft foam store bought doughnuts and I have seen people strapping lumps of rigid foam onto their arms... I am sure many must have tried standard black foam pipe wrap and maybe some...

Interesting thread over at Wet Pixel worth a read. A fellow did some testing on recharge time claims and compared to real life findings. Seems to expose a gap in industry standards. Inon Z-330 ready light comes on early - Lights, Strobes, and Lighting Technique

A cheap Pressure Pot. This is my first DIY post so I hope I will not embarrass myself. A while back I needed to test my Suunto that I had not enough time to have the battery properly swapped out before a trip and so elected to did it myself. Not a good idea, but I was stuck. As I did have to...

Just had my order from Vistek in Toronto cancelled, due to Panasonic Canada discontinuing the line - so the sales manager told me. Other stores are out or on their demo models after all the stores selling the camera for $200 CDN off the retail price for the last few weeks. Was all ready to come...

I am new to underwater flash, and am trying to understand sync issues with my Sony with a SL960D on Optic Cable slave. RD960D is set to either 1 preflash or 0 preflash to same effect. I know it is an old flash and you may be having a laugh but I have resisted gathering too much kit, using - to...

So I see there is a new Housing that will fit the full line of Rx100's. Has anyone tried this out yet, does it really fit the full line-up? And how well does it work? I see that it has dual seals, which is a nice touch. And it retails for around $350. Sony Underwater Housing

Doing my DueDill between RX100ii and G16, and my question at this time is, has anyone with the Ikelite housing tried fitting with the optional grip, Sony AG-R1, or there are others I understand. I know it is early as some of there housings are new, maybe people with the previous generation have...

We are off to Thailand for a few weeks, and will be doing a Similan Islands trip up to Richelieu Rock area. Will we be using Deet while on board? We have never done a Boat trip and are unsure if the bugs will be on us while off-shore. Also, the rest of our time will be South of Phuket, so we...

Found what I needed, Should have kept looking further!:blush: I would remove the thread, but I don't know how.

From reading other threads it appears that condensation is not much of a problem for most users, but I had a problem on a recent trip where I had this problem for the first time. I was on a Belize Caye and the morning weather was very humid (when I usually pack in the camera to its' case) and my...

I have a VT pro in my hands and I am trying to 'run it through its paces' before hooking up the transmitter to a tank (that I don't have). So I have read the manual, and have the unit running in 'demo' mode. Trail 1 I set the tank pressure to 3000psi and start the 'sequence'. After 8...

This is a general FYI post - meant to help cross border relations (Canada/US) on all the classified forums. If the staff can find a better place, please move me. U.S. sellers (and Canadian buyers) need to be aware of the unfair commercial practices of the major courier companies (mostly UPS...

I am far-sighted and use bi-focal lenses that are beyond the standard lenses that masks (that I know of) can produce. +2.5/+3.5 with +2.5 for reading. total of +6 :shocked2: Sea Vision (very friendly sorts) say they can laminate a 'rig' up for me but I get the feeling it might not be so...

My wife and I are new-ish divers (vacation warm water types) that are in the throws of purchasing new/used equipment. We can't really do what is generally advised good practice (try out all the gear first) as we don't dive in the cold local waters of Lake Ontario, and the places we do go to...

I am kind of new here, and while I have not found a thread on this question, I hope it is not obvious. I am interested to know if transmitters for Hoseless Air Integrated systems have a useful life. Do they get 'weak' with age as some other common local area transmitters (such as telco...

Just a 'hello' from a new member following good protocol. New to diving (20 or so warm water dives with my wife after getting padi OW) and looking to invest in some 'hardware', so I joined here to review the forums. Also, I love photography and have been getting some much improved results with...
