My Husband and I are flying over to maui from oahu, where we live, for a quick getaway before school starts. We have both wanted to dive the back side of molokini for awhile. I hear the back wall is excellent, where the area that people snorkel is over populated and the vis is not as good. We...

Wow. Great shots! I've been leaning towards an Inon 165 but now, I don't know. Gonna have to check out the Dyron +7.

I have that exact combo plus a Fantasea focus light on a right hand flex arm. I love it. In fact, I plan on getting a 2nd YS-02 in the near future. It took me about 2 dives to figure out how to work the strobe and camera together to get a proper exposure.

Thanks, Everyone! That was my 4th time doing the Manta Dive. Already planning to do it again on October.

A couple weeks ago, the wife and I went over to Kona and did the Manta Ray Night Dive with Wanna Dive Kona. While the water was a bit cold, the dive was great! I'm not sure how many were present that night but my best guess is at least 20. I made a short video with my G11 and put it together...

Thanks, Guys! I'm currently in Guam looking for more interesting critters:)

A few more pics......

I've been out with both and IMO you will be happy with either. Both also have military discounts. A +1 for IDH is that they have 2 dive shops with one being on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, from which they do a couple dives a week. Something no other shop on Oahu does. A +1 for KD is that...

I thought Mag Snake Eel because the Hawaii Shore Fishes book says that the "larger" Mag Snake Eel has more spots. This guy was about as big around as my pinky, so I assumed that the spots would get smaller as he grew. I'm an Engineer not a Marine Biologist, so thats my best guess. ----------...

After reading all the great reviews about Kaimana Divers, I finally got a chance to dive with them yesterday out of Kewalo Basin. Since I haven't done any Oahu wreck diving in a few years, I thought it'd be a nice change of pace from the normal reef dives of Oahu. Well, I wasn't disappointed as...

Thanks, Andrew! I have never used the Live Histogram on the G11 (I do on my T1i, though) but I will give a try now. And after watching your Manta video, I think I may just buy 2 strobes. Maybe 2 YS-01s for the spotting lights. I didn't realize thay could be used for video lights and I have heard...

Aloha, Hawaii Ohana! I'm seeking a little advice/recommendation. The wife and I are hopping over to Kona during her Spring Break and are planning to do the Manta ray Night Dive. I've done the dive 3 times previously but without a camera. I currently shoot with a Canon G11 and Wide Angle Lens...

Ah. I see it now. They could have put up a pic with a different angle. Thanks!

Does anyone know how the Fantasea "B & J Base Connector 45" actully connects to a Stay Slot Tray? I can't tell from the pictures and there are no UW Photostores out here in Hawaii. Here's a link to the product: Fantasea Line Water Sports Photo Products & Accessories- B & J Base Connector 45

Group request sent. Already started "recruiting" dive buddies. How many is your max this dive?

Hanauma Bay can be a fickle one. Some dives are full of interesting creatures and great viz. Others the viz is horrible and the surge is even worse. And not to mention the current between the channel markers. But every so often Hanauma Bay will let you have a wonderful treat. A year ago, the...

Nice. I've been waiting for someone on Oahu to offer something different. Beats having to fly to Maui then take a boat over to Molokai for the hammers. I will definitely try to get a group together to do it. Question though, I'm thinking this is a deep water dive with no bottom to reference for...

Thanks for the reply, Bill! I guess I should have been a little more specific. I am using flex arms to mount the strobes. I like being able to use the Fantasea Eye Grabber to hold my Big Eye when I'm not using it and as far as I can tell, it can only be mounted on a flex arm. So, I don't think...

Aloha! I've started out on a long-term camera rig project and am about to upgrade my strobe and add a focus light. Basically, I'm going to slowly grow my rig from single strobe (YS-02) to a double strobe (2 YS-02). I want to incorporate a focus light in this mix, which is relatively easy with a...

Aloha! I'm an avid Hawaii diver and u/w photog. I'm heading to Guam for a few days next week for work and want to get into the water. My work/flight plans don't really leave time to scuba dive, so I plan on freediving and taking pics. Does anyone know of any good spots for soft coral, anenome...
