Hi everyone I am looking for some advice on diving locations for 5th-15th November....really hope some of the more experienced divers can help me with destination. Ideally the diving would be: - warm water - decent visibility - preferrably large pelagics, large scholls of fish, abundant...

Thanks - good to know about SD cards! And i am taking a 1TB drive, as i'm only diving for 9 days, the rest is travelling in S.America etc. But given my (non-existent) skills in post processing - editing might still take me into next year! :D

Thank you fbk! i will make sure i turn the H3 on before the i get in the water. I also ordered the anti-fog strips and backup blotting paper. And looks like i will be getting the backup H3 - ending up without a camera on Galapagos liveaboard would be unbearable! I am travelling for a total of...

hi everyone thank you so much for your quick replies! i am very relieved to hear that the files sizes are broadly as they should be, based on my settings. I am happy to have a 32gb card per dive - was more worried that i was using the wrong settings somehow. regarding the card - i have...

Hi everyone, I recently got the gopro hero 3 black and started testing it couple of days ago, preparing for some underwater shooting i will be doing very soon. But i have an unexpected issue - my battery (with battery bacpac) lasts LONGER than my 32 gb card! Based on everything i read so...

Thank you everyone for your help!!! i have now ordered the SRP filter and tray - hope they arrive in UK in time for my trip. I will also most likely wait on the lights for now - both from budget perspective, and due to my limited experience. I think i will need all my concentration on diving and...

Hi everyone I am very lucky to be going to Galapagos in few weeks, so i am getting very excited! i just got a go pro hero 3 black for my trip, and i really need some help with the best setup for it - i really dont want to mess up any of my videos from Galapagos!! i have read a lot of...

thank you for your suggestions. i will try and do some cold water diving before i go, and will definitely do at least couple of dives land-based in Galapagos before going on the liveaboard - to make sure i adjust to thicker suit and the conditions. Sounds like i will also be going to gym a bit...

Thank you everyone for your input. It has re-assured me a little - i hope i should be able to cope with that type of diving. I am actually planning to be in Galapagos in the low season - in may. I have also decided i will definitely do some land based diving in Galapagos before going on...

Hi, thanks for the info! I will try to come in May in that case, as i would love to see as much marine life as possible, especially the hammerheads. I know that the whalesharks are unlikely in that time, but as long as i see lots of other stuff-i would be just as happy. And thanks for the tip on...

Hi, that is a good idea - i haven't thought of that. Thank you for the suggestions, and info. I was already planning to come to Galapagos few days early, and do the land tours/short cruise first (before the liveaboard), so will now see if i can do some land-based diving too. Unfortunately i...

Hi Everyone I am currently thinking of going to Galapagos around April/May for liveaboard, including Darwin and Wolf, and i have few questions about conditions during that season: 1. I believe April/May is low season with calmer seas in Galapagos. Does that usually mean that the currents tend...

Hi Everyone First of all - apologies for a very long post, hope it is the right forum. I need your advice on the Galapagos diving...I was planning to go on a liveaboard in Galapagos this coming Xmas/New year (always dreamt of Galapagos!) However, once i started researching diving conditions, i...
