I just purchased a D90 and Ikelite housing that I am expecting tomorrow. I have a couple of lenses (60mm macro and 10-17 fisheye) and the 8 dome and flat ports. I also have a DS125 flash. I need a travel case. I saw the pelican 1510 case with a place for a MAC in the lid and lots of pockets...

A friend dove with us (repetive dives daily) for a week on an island in leser Antillies. Max depth 100 ft. A week later he was outgassing (belching, flatulance). The second week turned much worse and he is now hospitalized (over a week) with microperforations in his bowel and no medical...

I have a c-5050 and just spent the week in Bonaire. Good focus pictures with proper lighting are few and far between. The latency of the shutter and flash recharge time allows the fish to completly swim away once I push the button to take a picture. And Second shots are an eternity away. I...

I just endured a treadmill incident that crippled me and put me on crutches. It was a wake up call about exercise. I have been diving all summer and went to the gym to resume exercise. I did a 22 minute fast walk at 3.5 mph by 3.5 incline as a easy warm up. Two days later I could not walk...

I have at least 3 of the Proton octo regulators and they are great. Easy breathing and well made. I just had a weird experience with my octo. I was practicing pool exercise for OOA with the instructor and gave him my octo. He got a very wet breath and we headed to the surface (unplanned)...

I know this is boring but after trying a variety of belts and the integrated type BCD I think I found a useful multipurpose weight belt. I just tried a XS Scuba weight belt and its a dream to use. I am always switching between warm water, pool and and cold water. Adjusting keepers and...

During Winter I do laps in a pool to maintain fitness. Would I do better at conditioning if I had a set of the mini fins? --DP

I am looking for service projects for Our Crew. We are in Maryland and are looking for contacts where we could learn new skills, get more experience and provide service. ps. Once we went to the warm waters of Florida we were spoiled. Diver_Pirate

I found my reg free flowed in a pool test. I let the LDS know of the problem and had the annual service done to a Delta 3 first, second and octo w/gauge before our trip. On the first drift dive the reg was still free flowing. I had the LDS in Florida check it out. He detuned the second...

In prep for a trip I found a reg that was free flowing in a pool dive. It was an Oceanic Delta 3 with octo. I am mechanically inclined and have serviced my regs in the past although not this one. Since this was my son’s reg and he was lending it to a buddy I wanted it to be handled by a...

I dropped my C-5050s and have a dive coming up in the keys at the end of the month. Does any one have a parts list pdf and the name of the company who sells the parts? Not Olympus America, there no help on there web site. I have repaired the LCD before but have lost the info. My old links...

I am fairly new to underwater pictures and am looking for some guidance. The Olympus C-5050 is great and fitting accessories is a challenge. Does any one have ideas or experience on which Tray would be better for my Ikelight DS-125 Strobe? Single, Dual, Ikelite or other? Why? Is there a...

I just joined primarily because of the photograpy threads ( just starting). I enjoy diving and prefer flat seas and good vis but that a rareity on the east coast. Attended a few hurricane parties this year during diving getaways (not great substitute for diving but...). Best dive site so far...
