Hi Mark I have been doing it for quite a while and shortly after getting this new setup I realised that the drive for underwater photography has somehow gone... The setup is absolutely brilliant, no doubt about it. Just my personal motivation for it got lost somewhere on the way ;-) Besides...

SOLD - a while ago but still getting messages for it ;-)

SOLD - this item is no longer for sale!

Since I will have less time to dive in the next months/years I am selling my Aquatica Nikon D800 housing with Ikelite DS-160 substrobes, arms and a 9,25" Megadome glass dome. (all prices in $ US) Bought: April 2013 Number of dives: 10 Photos of the items here. 1x Aquatica D800 housing...

hi Larry thanks for the message! where was the "close"-thing? couldn't find it ;-) i took the liberty of adding two of your points to my list - thanks! thom

since there are so many ways to do underwater photography and everyone tries to do it right i just wrote an article about proper diving with a camera and what the most common challenges and issues are. let me know your feedback. thanks thom

thanks for that one already. so what settings do you use on the camera regarding the flash? on my camera i have tons of different settings about maximal flash speed, shutter delay when using flash, etc. did you do anything there? what setting of "intensity" (1-4) do you put your strobes on...

first of all: yes it would have been a reasonable price for this unit. it's a rather old discussion but still some arguments going on here. first things first: i did my training on an MK VI and yes: it got me hooked. the whole CCR stuff is not getting out of my head anymore. i even wrote an...

sounds like these are the two questions to answer. When has the student mastered the skill? In my opinion this would be a quality standard you have to set FIRST as a dive shop (and then obviously enforce it) and most importantly you have to set this standard for yourself. To set the level of...

Since with my last camera my shots were always a bit too bright (Nikon D90 with Ikelite housing and integrated TTL converter and 2x Ikelite DS-160 substrobes) I want to avoid these problems with the new setup. The new setup includes: - Nikon D800 - Aquatica AD800 housing - 2x Ikelite DS-160...

i had an Ikelite 8.25" and got pelican case for it. It's all in there: port, housing, strobes, arms, batteries. yes you will have to check an extra bag (for some this may be a reason to think about it again). so far i had no problems with this setup and i still have all the equipment ;-) now...

How many times have you experienced it yourself? You walk into a dive shop and you know you will be treated the way you want. But suddenly you realise that something changed. Staff isn't the same or something else feels weird. I tried to write it down in two articles I just published on the...

if you want to be on the safe side and know what you are doing, how your computer reacts on what and stuff like that: TEC 40! you learn how to deal with deco properly and still stay within the recreational limits of 130ft/40m. yes you will "have to" carry the extra equipment for this class but...

hey Paul! when i did my AOW we had the "fixed" schedule: Night, Peak Performance Buoyancy and Navigation. at that time I didn't know what these dives would help or why we did them but i have to say this was quite a good choice. PPB: definitely i would do the PPB because this is one of the most...

in my opinion this is one of the reasons why quite some dive shops open, run for some years and then suddenly disappear again. in a startup phase (as in every other business) everyone is excited to be part of it and suddenly when the first months are over you realise: it's work! this is exactly...

hey there! i just put some new articles on my website. one of them is about mental training by diving. feel free to comment, share, like and of course give feedback. thanks thom

That pretty much sums it it up. Since I just did my tec/trimix and also the Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) training on the Poseidon MK VI a few months ago we asked the same questions. Fact is: There are theoretical possibilities to use a full face mask but as mentioned by PfcAJ you already have...

thanks for the flowers ;-) this SEM/SEO thing together with social media marketing come kind of with the job... but i just "relived" this startup phase with my new page now when i had to start from zero again (ok some 301 from my old page) starting on 1. april and having ~700 unique visitors...

i agree with you that FB or Scubaboard in particular help you push get into the "visible" area of Google. my Twitter approach is - as said - to generate traffic on my page. this supports my efforts here on SB and on FB with all the work i do there. the goal is obviously visibility. of course...
