    ABC Islands recommendations?

    Well, looks like we will follow Altamira's advice and use the Cruise ships dive ops. Not thrilled, but it will reduce anxiety. Thank you all for your thoughtful advice! Happy Thanksgiving folks! Heading to Cozumel for a week on Saturday, then the cruise on the 13th.

    ABC Islands recommendations?

    Thanks everyone! I'll review and should be able to finalize everything with ti.e suggestions. Now, off to a reef dive in Puerto Aventuras. Retirement fits me!

    ABC Islands recommendations?

    Thanks folks! We'll settle on Bonaire and Curacao. I like the Buddy Dive idea, and will contact them. For Curacao, we arrive at 8, so it might be tight to get to the Dive Bus in time. I will also check with them. Keep em coming! Altamira: I'm 64, so I hear you. When will ships realize that age...

    GoPro Hero2, SRP Tray, CY Filter -- Very pleased with the setup

    I have a very similar setup, Blurfix, but different tray, Original GoPro, HD Intova 220 wide mini (x2). I used it diving the RMS Rhone in Tortola (depth ~75-80, 30 ft vis at best) and realized that I need at least 4 times what I had, and the Hero2. Just bought the Hero2 tonight :) and will be...

    Wetsuit for a Fat person.

    I'm 5'9", 250 and wear a Bare Velocity Progressive Sin tretch 3/2 in a 2XLShort. It has been perfect 72-80 degree water. More than I needed last month in Akumal, MX, but not too warm. A great suit, and reasonably priced.

    My first Underwater videos - GoPro Hero HD

    raskous: I just got the lens and it works well. I also spoke to GoPro and they are going to do "something" but were not specific: I haven't edited my videos yet, but they came out fairly well, considering it was my first try with the new lens. seahorsey: still come out well it you just grab...

    My first Underwater videos - GoPro Hero HD

    I could have saved myself some searching if I had paid attention to the goprofocus site :blush: I should be getting the lens any day now. I will try it next month in Florida and will post how it goes. Perhaps the 127 vs 170 angle when in 1080 mode is why there is vignetting in the other modes.

    My first Underwater videos - GoPro Hero HD

    New here... The difference between the "budget" HD and full HD camera is also that you can only shoot in 170 degree width. With the more expensive model, you shoot at 127 degrees wehn in 1080 mode. It also ends up being your setting of choice :) You can also find the flat lens at...
