Oh, and I did manually white balance as well, since I'd been taught that you should. So I did :) I also had an Inon UFL-165AD mounted on the front of my housing, so it was a little tricked out, but I still couldn't choose my shutter or aperture if I wanted to! And the natural light Punta...

I had taken some shots in Cozumel on Punta Dalila at about (I think) 50 ft or so. Due to some tray issues, I had taken the strobe off my camera before the dive. I used a tiny square from a Blue Water Magic Filter taped to the front of my camera lens, then put the camera in the housing. Now, the...

True, I have seen a lot of posts about the same thing. I also don't have a huge car; it does well for what I am already cramming in it, but I'm not sure I have the energy for a DIY solution that might not be so graceful about setup/teardown/packup. :dontknow: My idea of DIY at this point...

I'm sure hoping someone here can point me in a viable direction. I like to camp when I dive locally. I'm often not affiliated with the groups that reserve the pavilions, where it's easy to find a place to string up your gear to dry. I also notice a lot of people in my position will hang their...

LOL!! Track shoes :) I do like to run, but I think diving is more my speed this weekend. tk trekers, would love to meet you and your wife. My buddies are not able to make it for Saturday, so I'd like to have someone lined up. I am planning to be there around noon, and I'll assume you are...

I hope they are still able to make it, because it's always a bummer to have your plans changed for you. Bummer for them because they lose a dive weekend, bummer for me because I'd have to find a different buddy. But unexpected workload happens sometimes. I have one of those jobs too where I...

Hey All, I'm doing night diver checkout dives for my cert on Saturday night at CSSP so I plan to make a weekend of it, diving both days too. Hopefully my intended dive buddies don't have to back out (silly jobs, how they get in the way sometimes!). But just in case, anyone else planning to...

I stumble across so much great stuff in this forum. I had no idea there were charters on Lake Travis. Can't come this weekend, as I have night diver cert dives in CSSP Saturday night, but I'm going to keep this in mind for something fun to do in August! :cool2:

LOL! I said the same thing about finding buddies (in terms of it being worse than finding a decent date). Glad I'm not alone! To the OP, I've done some of what has been suggested here. I joined a dive club (they were quite welcoming), I frequent my LDS and am planning to travel to Coz on one...

Hi Alan, Yes I took the wreck class at Athens. I think it was good for that. It silted up in a hurry which in my mind made for good experience. Nothing like running a reel and following it back when you can't see - which is exactly the purpose of the line! I did end up at CSSP for Saturday...

Alan, that seems to be the general concensus. I ended up at Athens because they had a wreck class I wanted to do last weekend, and I had a good time. That park would be my choice if I were going alone because it's devoid of life (nothing to bite, tangle me up, etc) and shallow enough that I can...

Hi All, I'm thinking of heading to Athens or CSSP for some dives this weekend, but I'm buddy-less. Anyone planning on being at either site that doesn't mind an extra diver? I'm relatively new, but pretty confident and gaining skills with each dive :D Tina

Hi There, I'm a relatively new diver in Keller, looking for buddies to dive CSSP and/or Athens. I did a class at Athens last weekend and had a pretty good time. Thinking of heading there again this weekend since I met a few folks that seem to be regulars and don't mind extra divers. But....I...

I completely agree. I only point it out because I was trained by two separate instructors who emphasized that ascents at 60ft/min were the max speed that were still safe. So if you don't realize that your dive computer is going to be more conservative than what you were trained to do, or do as a...

I am a brand new diver, so certainly no expert, but I like to balance out the price with the features that will give me enough room to grow into a sport. I'm like this with all my hobbies. I don't like to rebuy when my skill exceeds the capability of the equipment, but I also am not a fan of...
