    Where did the medical forum go?

    Hi Pete (and the moderators)! Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to make a post asking divers who have sleep apnea what mask they use on their CPAP machines. (I saw on another forum that you use one, too.) I'm just starting with the CPAP and I have a "nose mask" (mouth not covered) and I'm...

    L22 with Ikelite housing?

    Folks, as some of you may have noticed, there's a banner ad on SB for Dive Pro for an Nikon Coolpix L22 & Ikelite Housing Package. I lost my Olympus camera last summer due to a leak and am looking to replace it (and no, it was one of the few times I forgot to renew my insurance before I went -...

    Name of white thing on front of Olympus housing?

    A strange question folks: My PT-030 housing flooded on a dive trip last fall :( and I took it to the repair shop. They returned it and I don't know if it's them or me, but the white plastic thing on the front of the camera that "blocks" the flash is missing. I'm pretty sure I have to have...

    Does connecting computer to your PC "do" something for you?

    Folks, I'm looking to replace my 8 yr old Suunto and these days, just about every dive computer you look at has the capacity to be connected to your PC (assuming you pay the extra bucks for the connecting cord). I'm curious: For those of you who have gone this route - what has this "done" for...

    Visiting and diving both sides of Egypt? Your thoughts, please

    I'm looking for feedback on a trip planned for May 2009. A dear friend of mine (who was a serious Egyptophile) died last spring and left me some money to do a trip to Egypt to visit the Luxor area and to dive at Sharm. (This will be my third trip to Egypt: I first learned to dive at Sharm in...

    Taking Chantix While Diving - possible?

    I was curious to know if anyone here has had experiences taking Chantix (Champix in Europe) - the stop smoking drug - while diving. After years of successful "diving while smoking", I realised I really need to quit - if for diving than nothing else: it's a great motivator. I've only been on...

    Where to find a new SP-350 on-line?

    Folks, I've been looking at a new Oly and I read so many good things here about the SP-350 that I decided to buy one. But - I cannot find a known web retailer that stocks them! I've looked at Reef Photo, B&H, Adorama, etc., but no luck. Amazon advertizes it, but then refers you to some web...

    Oly 770SW - any reviews, experiences?

    Hi Folks, It's time for me to get a new camera and I'm looking at the Oly Stylus 770 SW. I plan to get the PT-035 housing for it and to use my Ikelite DS-50 strobe with it. I've found some reviews on the net, but I'd love to know if any of you have had any experience with it or heard things...

    Need help from PT-014 to PT-018 owners!

    Hi folks, I want to buy an LCD hood for the back of my old PT-005 housing. Olympus.com has two hoods available (one for the PT-014, PT-016 and PT-018 housings and one for the PT-015 and PT-017 housings). My problem is that Olympus won't give me the measurements so that I can see if one of...

    Anyone have experience with the DS-50 strobe?

    Hi folks, I use an Oly 3040-Z with an Oly PT-005 housing (yes, they are old models, but they do quite well for a relative newbie like me!). I am now looking at strobes and am thinking about the Ikelite DS-50 (there are some nice packages for it with the TTL Slave Sensor, etc. at...

    Masks that have bottom windows for near-sighted divers

    Dear all, Thanks for the comments on my thread asking about the Mares ESA mask - overall, they were NOT complimentary, so I am looking for another mask. I want a mask where you can insert lenses for near-sightedness, but I would also like one of the masks that has the "bottom windows" so that...

    Anyone take along their laptop?

    Hello, I'm headed off on my second dive trip taking pictures with my Olympus 3040-Z and PT-005 housing. But I am considering taking along my lightweight laptop computer so that I can download pictures in the evening and really look at them (I don't find the small screen on the back of the...
