Hmm, my bad I assumed these were the unprocessed .jpgs of the RAWs. The white balance in the ones where your lights weren't lighting up the subject def. seems off to me. If you want to send me a link to the RAW of the Grouper and the SCUBA diver I can take a look and tell you what I think.

So I am by now means an expert in underwater photography, I have really just started taking my camera underwater, but I do know topside photography fairly well. So, take what I say under that frame. There are actually two different things here. First is getting white balance, second is getting...

@Magnus Lundstedt -Is there a reason other than consistency that you would suggest the same. It's like $85 more for the xtx50, so trying to justify that cost @rhwestfall is the Egress solid construction, my limited experience, is that some of these bottom line octos aren't solid. But I am...

I just bought an Apeks first and second stage (XTX50), but I need to get an octo to go with it. I am a warm water diver, recreational depth so I don't need a high end octo. I fly to most of my dives since I live in land and somewhere that is mostly too cold to dive for my tastes. Looking at...

If you have a Sony you might give Capture One a try. Lots of my land photo friends use it.

I'll second the Martin Edge book. I am a better than average above water photographer (exhibited my work a few times), but underwater photography is hard. The Edge book helped me get my head around the three biggest differences in getting the photo. 1. Exposure is different, don't trust the...

I live outside of Philly, might be interested in a service class in the Delaware/Maryland area if one shapes up.

Thanks. I had read your fitting guides on other posts re BP/W. Right now my BC tends to rattle around when I move, rather than staying put. I think the issue is less room in the straps and more width of the straps (although I can get two fists underneath). I can pretty much "shrug" off the...

Context: I have roughly 70 dives, all in warm water locations, mostly the Caribbean, but some Texas lake diving, and have been working hard to manage buoyancy and dive technique. One thing that I discovered on my latest trip is that my BC doesn't fit entirely well. I currently have a Zeagle...

I also would be interested in just one if you are willing to sell them separate.

I understand from the basic guidelines that you aren't supposed to exercise before or after diving. What is the reasoning for this? Is it related to Nitrogen loading and off gasing? Or just not being ideal to dive tired? I ask because I am a runner, run six times a week, and want to know how...

Well if you are looking for a buddy let me know. I am pretty inexperienced, and also not Grumpy :D but if you are looking for someone I still don't have plans, and don't really want to go to OK. (In my limited exp. I would say CSSP is the better of the two local SCUBA parks.)

Suddenly have a free weekend. Wondering if anyone wants to go diving this weekend at Clear Spring in Terrel. I am a newly certified diver just looking to get some practice and dives in.

I am a new diver, recently certified. Although I had what I would charatercize to be a good class, my one complaint is that we were overweighted in order to make sure we stuck to the bottom. So this past weekend I went diving with the simple goal of learning to dive with less weight. I went from...

Newly certified diver here. Excited about taking my first boat trip here in a few weeks. I was certified without ever getting on a boat (Texas Lakes). I have heard that it is customary to tip the boat crew, what is the standard rate (lets say for US boats, I imagine it is different in different...
