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...

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

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.

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. )

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...

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.

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...

What is the consensus on HERO11? My HERO3 flooded due to a Walmart [not so] waterproof case (front port popped out, found it on land by my gear on the grass after the dive). I have a chance to get a HERO11 with points from a health program at work. I've read a few comments about the 10 over...

What parts of the Texas Coast have the best salt water diving with "best" being a relative term. I hit up the local social media group for a south Texas coastal community a while back only to discover that they had no local dive community (that anyone knew of) other than the local dive shop...

OK, there are a few of us in here with experienced eyes that have difficulty reading these too small guages. I tried diopter inserts but feel like there are better solutions. My dive buddy carries a small plastic magnifier but that takes too many hands (although I'm considering it). Don't...

Can anyone suggest pouches or pockets to mount on my BPW waist belt to carry misc items? I have a few small things like a safety sausage, lift bag, wire cutting pliers, etc. that I want kept neatly out of sight but handily accessible. I tried using military pouches but they are sort of "one...

Has anyone had any luck with some of the "brand x" Big Blue replacement batteries? Both of mine failed recently, Both were working, one died mid dive so I recharged both. After recharging neither would work. These are about 3 y/o OEM (less than 20 charge cycles) and based on voltage and...

The Auto exposure compensation on my [new] TG-6 is blowing out all the highlights. I set it on Auto per suggestion in the manual and have seen this same recommendation in other articles. It seems to do this with or without lights (Big Blue vlc1500PPM). So far I can fix some of them in post...

Anyone know a good source for the bolts, nuts, etc. for BP/W systems? I've been all over Zeagle and Scubapro website and not finding any reference to them. Just wondering where you guys are getting spares. I just ordered a backplate mounted accesory for Zeagle but it says nothing about...

Right now I use the Scubapro (SP) soft weight system on my SP BP/W and it's kind of bulky for the amount of weight I typically need. Typically I don't use it, the Al back plate and trim weights are enough but planning a blue water so added them back (sadly I don't do a lot of blue water.) A...

Recent;y I acquired a pretty stout twin arm tray from a friend but they don't remember the brand. Was hoping to find the names of some more notable brands to check for parts and accessories.

Someone mentioned to me recently there may be a compatibility issue between mirrorless cameras and underwater photography but they did not recall what it was. This friend shoots DSLR. Anyone else heard this? Sounded sort of odd but I have encountered stranger things...

I'm a terrestrial photographer but never really taken the plunge to UW photog (PITA factor vs benefit seems high for me.) Can you guys recommend a decent, not break the bank, UW P/S camera? Most of the lakes around here the vis is measured single digit but have a blue water coming up and...

The housing on my old Hero 3+ is damaged so figured this would be a good excuse to upgrade, especially considering the improvements in video quality since I got it. Reading the Q/A on Amazon there was a bit of chatter about the latest Hero 10+ overheating in warm (85F) water or air. Has anyone...

Had a dive shop almost decline filling my tanks because they were close to the 20 year mark. He said after the next hydro they would not because the tanks are 20 years old. All my tanks are current (and in good shape) with hydro and VIP. (They need more wear from diving but the day job, and...
