    How do sharks respond to strobes and flashes in their face?

    Yes as D-Diver said, that does happen, for the sharks hearing is excellent plus their sensory glands [ampullae of lorenzini] and they do react a little to the 'weeeeeiii' noise from the charging of a flash/strobe, when I work/shoot with a pack of sharks numbering in the dozens.. a little nudge...

    Looking for ref filter for Inon lens

    Yes that is the exact filter 6441.42 for video that we use on our INON lenses - you have to pry off the rubber ring on the lens first. Also FYI if you use a housing that needs extra clearance for the back of the INON 100 UWL to fit without touching the housing, then all you do is buy a cheap UV...

    Correcting Colour Cast

    Well, ok, no raw. C'mon you can do a custom white balance. I can relate to low vis and murky water- did my DM course in the murkiest water of Southampton and Portsmouth Naval base, and to do that you need a slate and WB preset ability on your camera, which most cameras do, which camera do you have?

    Correcting Colour Cast

    Oh yes and you should be using RAW files too if you can- the latitude of the adjustments is far superior than a jpeg which is already processed. Eddy

    Correcting Colour Cast

    Any reason why you aren't taking a custom white balance? Basic 101 UW Color, using no strobes. It makes your reds easier to recall if you first attach a UR pro red filter, then do a custom WB at the depth you are shooting, then you don't have to do much if any cast correction... Do you even...

    7D vs G-12 .. is it worth it ?

    Wow- amazing talk can be generated from the comparison of a Point and Squirt and an SLR! House your Canon 7D as it is the next step for you Chris. You will not be satisfied until you do this. I speak as a professional shooter who has taught and coached many many students in their level-up to...

    Cozumel for the very experienced diver - where and with whom?

    On the level - well if you're like me and my wife, we too want the quiet boat with no hassle when we want to get away for some holiday dive trips.

    XZ-1 ... IMO, a poor choice for an underwater camera

    Hey Bob - read all your XZ-1 efforts, looks like you are getting some results! I shoot with an slr, but I did a lot of research on Olympus and Canon 'point and squirts' and ended up liking this camera more than the G12. I bought this with the Oly housing for my wife for xmas, gave her a photo...

    Man Bitten By Shark In Bahamas

    In the last three years he has had two accidents. You should check the testimonials yourself - One was himself, one was a guest who sadly died as a result of blood loss and drowning etc., and what I am saying isn't about whether we disagree if sharks can be dangerous- they can be if the...

    Man Bitten By Shark In Bahamas

    1, Jim is a professional diver with an experience level greatly dwarfing yours with sharks and the way he does business. 2, He knows that once in a while [whilst working with sharks] he is going to get bitten, it's a fact, not if, but when. It's accepted - it's obviously not desired! I've...
