    Name the mystery fish?

    I recently dove in Cozumel with my new camera. While viewing pictures on my laptop I zoomed in on a photo and cropped it. I noticed an unusual shape and zoomed in further and was wondering if an experienced underwater photographer or marine fish expert might recognize it. It has an unusual shape...

    SeaLife DC 1400-Automatic or manual

    Sorry, one other question and maybe I'll have to read the manual again..................you commented that I could change manual settings, more specifcally referring to filters. Are you saying I could set a particular filter but still have it in auto mode with that particular filter setting? I...

    SeaLife DC 1400-Automatic or manual

    Thank you for the in-depth feedback. Does changing the white balance manually compensate for the excessive blue dominance at greater depths and/or overcast days? One of my deeper dives on an overcast day almost looked like a "negative" besides all the blue. Again, I'm referring to video...

    SeaLife DC 1400

    I just used this camera in Cozumel for 1st time and I'm new to underwater photography. I didn't use lights this week because I wanted to get used to camera 1st while doing some more advanced dives. Camera is very, very user friendly and I like the piano keys. Here are a couple links to video...

    SeaLife DC 1400-Automatic or manual

    i just bought this unit and used it in Cozumel. Unfortunately, the weather was mostly overcast and many of the dives were 70 to 100 ft. Although I'm happy with most of the pictures and video I took I have much to learn. I like to keep things as simple as possible so I mostly kept camera in...

    Thinner gloves for cold water diving?

    If diving in water down to about 50 degrees in Wisconsin and surrounding areas, will 5 mm or even 3 mm gloves work? I just bought 7 mm wet suit. I'm concerned about trade-off between warmth and dexterity? Just returned 7mm new gloves I bought because I didn't feel I could move fingers well...

    Spring fed lakes in Wisconsin......

    Just got my license while in Mexico and lived mostof my life in Wisconsin. When I was young I remember some crystal clear lakes in northern Wisconsin. I specifically remember a couple lakes you could see right to the bottom from the boat and I believe it was around 30 ft. Does anybody have any...

    Time to Weigh in!

    I love the warmth of the tropics but if I can get more diving in up here it might be worth a try. Did you ever try one of the crystal clear small springfed lakes in northern Wisonsin? It seems like it would be interesting. When diving Lake Michigan or superior is there good clarity and do dry...
