    I have been using photoshop elements for many years to edit my underwater photos. I was wondering if anyone uses photoshop premiere elements to edit videos? I can get a bundled price for both elements and premiere elements a lot cheaper than buying, say lightroon, and a photoshop elements...

    regulator cannot be in carry-on baggage in Fiji

    As a final closure to this thread, I did travel with my regulator in my carry on and had no problems. In fact, Fiji is a dive friendly destination. Fiji airways offers a special dive pack baggage price for divers. You get one free checked bag, if your check a second bag it costs $150, however...

    sony rx100 macro setting

    I have a Sony RX100, an old camera now, but was wondering if anyone could tell me how close you can get using your zoom to get a macro shot. My understanding is that the macro function is automatic with the camera so you just get close/zoom in and take your shot. I don't have a close-up lense...

    regulator cannot be in carry-on baggage in Fiji

    Thanks all for your replies, even the ones that were less than congenial. The issue with contacting the airline is that they really don't decide what items are carried onto the plane. As one poster said, "Since it's hand luggage, the airline will not get to check its contents - the airport...

    regulator cannot be in carry-on baggage in Fiji

    Thank you Lorenzoid, that is exactly what I want. Responses from people that have recently returned from fiji and what they experienced. The comment regarding "some random dude" could also be applied to the customer service agent. These are not trained security specialists. Also, if I "keep...

    we are headed to Fiji next week, and one of my traveling companions read that you can't carry sports equipment in your carry-on and called Fiji Airways about taking his regulator in his carry-on bag. The agent looked up their security protocol and although regulators are not mentioned told him...

    Snorkeling with Whales at the Silver Bank

    Thanks for your posts diversteve and neilj. I had read on other threads that the you spend more time on the tenders than actual time with the whales, and there are some days that you never get into the water with these animals. It was good to hear that you saw, and had in-water encounters with...

    Going to Fiji. Wide Angle needed?

    You will definitely have multiple opportunities for both wide angle and macro shots in Fiji. I've been there 2 times and it is one of my favorite places to dive in the world. BTW MJH's are awesome! I can only dream of taking such beautiful pics. Bill

    suggestions on securing lenses on the Dyron quick change system

    I could screw it in, but I also have a macro lens that I take with me, and I prefer to use the quick change system. Unscrewing one lens, screwing it on the lens holder, then unscrewing the other lens, and screwing it on the front of the camera takes time and underwater is not always easy...

    I recently purchased the Sony RX100-MK2 with a Recsea housing along with the Dyron lens quick change system. On my first dive trip with the new system, several times my UWL-04 fisheye lens fell off of the lens holder on the strobe arm. Unfortunately, at the end of the trip, during a wreck...
