    LocLine and GoPro

    I'm not as worried about entanglement, they snap apart with a bit of force although that gives cause for concern for potential camera loss... and it may not work like I want it to anyway.

    LocLine and GoPro

    Maybe if I post a picture of what I'm talking about. It's the long knobby bendy tube.

    LocLine and GoPro

    I acquired some 1/2"LocLine that came in a box of misc. UW photog gear I picked up used and decided to make a GoPro mount BPW. Problem is I underestimated the weight of the GoPro 11 (or strength of the 1/2"LocLine) and it's pretty sad looking; droops pretty bad when I let go. It may work...

    Lake Tenkiller, OK?

    We are a dive club just looking for variety. It's been a few years but I have been to Beaver Bend (Broken Bow) and more recently Lake Murry. One of the guys was talking about getting a group together to check out Tenkiller so challenge accepted. I'm helping with recon/intel.

    Lake Tenkiller, OK?

    Anyone have any experience diving Lake Tenkiller OK? Some of the guys are discussing checking it out. It's a several hour drive from here so need good intel/recon before heading out. for this two day adventure

    DIY Photog gear

    When researching my camera, some of you posted some interesting and creative rigs. Thought it would be interesting to start a thread to show off the creative low cost solutions some of you have devised.

    Corpus Christi diving?

    What is the diving and dive community like in, around, and near Corpus Christi? Also curious about Lake Corpus Christi, any diving there? Other area lakes? (Need a freshwater dive occasionally to rinse salt out of the gear. )

    Kona, HI; where to dive (and surface stuff)?

    Wife is not a water person (my mind was somewhere else way back then.) I think we went to that Pololu lookout. North end of island, end of the road. Trail down to the beach not for the weak or faint of heart?

    Kona, HI; where to dive (and surface stuff)?

    EDIT: Just realized I got the title wrong. We are looking at islands besides Kona. Looking at Maui and Kauai too. ************************** The wife wants to go back to Hawai'i, there's plenty of other places I'd rather go but looks like we are going to compromise and to to Hawai'i. Kind...

    Nitrox in car tires?

    Carbon rich rubber tires, enriched O2 gas under pressure; what could possible go wrong? The ability for common stuff to burn increases dramatically as the amount of available O2 increases. I don't know anything specific about rubber tires but have seen demos of stuff that smolders in normal...

    GoPro 11 mount?

    What are some of the more creative methods for mounting GP11 for passive dive video. I was using my GP3 mounted to my mask but recently upgraded. The GP11 is larger and heavier. My old mount was retrofitted to my mask. Any ideas.

    +GoPro11 housing; OEM or aftermarket?

    Well, I pulled the trigger on the OEM housing. We'll see how it goes. That aluminium case looks nice but with arating of 250meters it would cost me a whole lot more in gear to fully utilize it.

    +GoPro11 housing; OEM or aftermarket?

    Depends on what I'm diving but so far usually stick to 100ft or less.

    GoPro HERO11?

    ... risky things I may have done in my early life, no comment. :) These days a polar bear dive is just a Jan 1 dive in the cooler than normal North Texas water. Local dive venue around here has a New Years day dive to start the year right. We bundle up for dear life but still probably warmer...

    GoPro HERO11?

    Yes. Formally affectionately known as "Cold Springs".

    +GoPro11 housing; OEM or aftermarket?

    I read somewhere that maybe the 9, 10, and 11 were built on the same chassis so accessories like the housing, etc. were interchangeable. Can anyone verify that?

    +GoPro11 housing; OEM or aftermarket?

    I forgot to mention, the reason I got the HERO11 is because a Walymart housing flooded my GoPro3; first dive, found the lens port laying on the ground at my gear. The irony is that my old housing had a damaged clasp and I was worried about failure under water. It's only been 8 months so...

    +GoPro11 housing; OEM or aftermarket?

    Just pulled the trigger on the Hero11 Black and was surprised to find multiple options for housings. (My personal view on "waterproof to 30ft" means it's splash proof.) Over the years I've seen aftermarket accessories that far exceeded the OEMs dreams and others that were not worth the box it...

    GoPro HERO11?

    That may be one of the best testimonials I've ever read. Seems like every time I get a better piece of equipment it just enhances my flaws. :) I pulled the trigger this morning. Hopefully arrives in time for the polar bear dive...
