    Blurry image using the Sony MPK-URX100A w/wet lens on the original RX100

    I recently upgraded to a mirrorless after shooting my RX100 in an Ikelite housing for several years. My RX100 gear is no longer of use to me so if you'd like to upgrade your housing and perhaps some gear send me a PM and we can work somthing out.

    Blue Angel dive op?

    I think the hotel and restaurant have been well covered so I'll keep my $0.02 brief. When I've been limited on dive sites or depth with Blue Angel it has always been some other client on the boat who was new or needed improved skills keeping us restricted. Once my travels started including...

    Rigging my underwater camera, how I did mine

    I like your setup, although I'm not sure I could tolerate having the WWL mounted underneath. I'll try to post a picture of my Sony A7RV rig but it is always getting changes as I figure out how to best rig for the particular location and mission. I'm going to steal a few of your ideas because...

    Trip Report BA/Punta Sur Divers 10/15-10/29

    I was with you on night dive with the storm. To say it was white knuckle territory going around the ends of the cruise ship area would be a understatement. Good to meet you, hope to have the pleasure of diving with you again sometime!

    April 2023 Roll call

    Our group is mostly neighbors... an informal club I guess. Our shop is Blue Angel, we usually bring a few to certify there and talk the rest into nitrox as the week progresses and they run out of bottom time. We'll have 10 rooms booked for our week this go round, 3 visits this year. June will be...

    Live music at Blue Angel

    Pretty sure Smooth Cats (rock and roll covers generally) is still playing at Blue Angle on two of the other nights as well most weeks. I concur about Silvia, she is a lovely singer and I'm hoping she'll throw some Fleetwood Mac into the rotation someday.

    Local News

    I think the photo on the maya-news story doesn't go with the crash description. Avenida 35 Facebook page had a leg amputation picture two days ago, could be the same crash. The comments pile on speeding taxies and such but the left leg damaged, with the damage to the left side of the bike and...

    Staying in Cozumel longer term -- any recommendations for "off the beaten path" diving?

    Since the conversation mentioned snorklers visiting divers, I took this shot last week at Columbia Shallows. I found them to be quite entertaining and even watched one of the guides rescue a panicked snorkler who fought him as he towed her all the way back to their catamaran.

    Current currents

    San Clemente reversed in the middle of the dive for us today... typical south to north the first half then reversed. Viz dropped and the current took us 180 degrees back past what we dived the first half.

    For Sale Official Freedom Plate List: Please respond here.

    Saturday I ordered 2 medium plates from Seals Watersports. I've been wanting one and figured that ordering from the store would help Eric proceed with getting established in retail. I'm fine with paying a bit more to support growing his business and lessening the load with each customer. That...

    Have you ever been refused to be allowed to dive?

    Yes... I got turned down in Cabo when looking to dive Gordo Banks last August. 400+ dives over 10 years including several buddied up with divers completing their AOW on local shop trips in California and Mexico. Seemed the shops down in Cabo were shy due to some high profile fatalities in recent...

    Blue Angel

    I've booked there a fair amount since 2012. The internet response time in my experience can vary from almost immediately to never receiving a reply. Every time I call however I've been able to take care of things immediately. Based on what you described I'd call and avoid any waiting as the...

    Camera housing tax? ...

    I passed through SJD 2 weeks ago while visiting Cabo Pulmo. I was sweating the housing tax and they were asking about housing and laptops. The english was so bad I said no before realizing what she was asking.... didn't get taxed thank goodness. I suspect the 2 plane loads of tourists hiting...

    Will COZ close it’s borders?

    I'm booked for Scuba Club starting March 31st... sure hope things stay open there. Saw on a more local Cozumel Facebook page there may be confirmed case on the island. I don't know whether to believe it as the page tends to be quite sensationalized.
