    Should I buy this as my first entry into the world of bp/w?

    It's in the Mall of Asia area... for the pro discount i think you just have to show them your DM card. I'm not sure about the deals offered as this is i think the first PHIDEX (you just missed DRT two weeks ago, which I think is the bigger dive expo) btw, you can register for a free visitor...

    Should I buy this as my first entry into the world of bp/w?

    you're in the Philippines? PHIDEX is on this coming weekend... might be a nice opportunity to get your wing on a bargain. I think Aquaventure is there and their Apeks wings are on sale. Philippine International Dive Expo (PHIDEX) I'd keep the aluminum plate as well until you figure out which...

    I also have an RX100v in a Fantasea housing... currently using it with an Inon H100 with the dome unit - the results are ok but having to zoom in to get rid of the vignette(?) does get to be a little annoying also wondering if I can go wider if I get a lens designed for 24mm so I was also...

    Which housing and strobe for a Sony RX100M5A?

    Hi! I'm also using an RX100v with a Fantasea FRX100V Housing -happy with the camera and still learning to use it. -I like the housing, only complaint is that when using a double handle tray the shutter button is too far to reach when holding the rig by the right tray handle - so I'm forced to...

    Wrong depth on my Suunto Zoop

    It's the Suunto DM5 software that's screwed up... not the zoop nor the cable. There was a thread posted recently and they were able to download the correct data using another software. My friend also had the exact same issue (deeper downloaded depth profile on some dives) as well as some...

    Suunto Bungee Mount Compatibility

    About the pins being a failure point. It's the same pins holding the original rubber straps on the suuntos. If you think about it, in the original configuration (rubber strap + two pushpins) there are multiple ways you can lose the dive computer: -if the strap breaks you lose the computer -if...

    If you can't find a bungee mount in your area, how about just removing the rubber straps and inserting bungee cords under the strap pins? this is from a Vyper Air - but i think the gekko should be similar?

    if it's an ACD equipped Legend - then there's nothing to worry about. it closes off when not attached to a tank - preventing water from getting into the first stage. no need to do anything
