Hey guys, need some advice. Currently I gave an EPL5, which works fine, but isn't very ergonomically in controls. I was considering upgrading the case an camera to an EM1. I know the Nauticam case for the EM1 allows for much more convenient control of the camera. Also, this upgrade would allow...

So, my gf and I went for snorkeling (i was scuba diving she was snorkeling). And we both experienced an unconformable stinging sensation on the surface. I did not experience it under water but on the surface it felt like tiny jelly fish stings. I had a few rash spots appear on some exposed...

I have an Olympus EPL5 at the moment, with a Nauticam housing. The setup is nice. It's relatively small and compact, good for travel. However I have been contemplating a housing for my D800E (currently mostly used for studio, portrait and strobist stuff), and I wonder what people's opinions on...

Guys, I got an issue with removing some backscatter. I know there's the spot removal tool in Lightroom, and that works for small quantities, but not for large quantities of backscatter. For the latter I use either median or dust & scratch removal filters. However, if the backscatter is...

Greetings all, and a happy new year! I thought I'd start the new year with a review of an underwater photography workshop I attended during my dive holiday on Bali. I've been a land based photographer for a long time, and being new to scuba diving I wanted to extend that experience with UW...

The topic sums it up. I'm looking for these two items. I'm located in Shanghai, and I may be going to Hong Kong in the next week or two. With Christmas I'll be on Bali. So if someone happens to know where (shop) in these 3 locations I can get the knife and related plate, that'd be great! As a...

Here's a question about size. So I looked at the tusa size charts, and I was wondering how accurate they are. I just received the 8000 in the mail, and it indicates "Euro M/Asia L", and trying it out, it's definitely too small, so I need to return it. I'm 190, 100kg, so technically that should...

Guys, I was looking at this particular item (http://www.igills.com) and I was wondering if anyone has used this before. First of all, I would probably not rely on an iphone as my dive computer, so for me it would be a gimmick more than anything serious, or at best a backup solution if my own...

Hi Guys, I spotted some good deals for Tusa Wing BCDs and was curious about opinions. First of all, can someone tell me what the crucial difference is between the BCJ-6900 and the BCJ-8000? Secondly, How well does either do in practise? Any specific pro's/con's worth mentioning?

Guys, got a weeks worth of annual leave to finish this year. Was considering going diving somewhere end November, early December. I'm going to Bali during Xmas already, also going to boracay end January. I'm located in shanghai. I also realise typhoon Yolanda just wreaked havoc in the...

Guys, I'm interested in buying a zeagle BCD, maybe stiletto or something like that. However, I can't work out the ripcord system. I looked at their video, but all that tells you is how to rethread the system. What I'd like to know is how it actually work! It almost seems like the ripcord is...

Guys, Can anyone provide me with some recommendations for dive operators on Bali that offer tailored trips for diving? I'll be in Bali 10 days over christmas (9 if you subtract travel out on the last day), 5 of which I plan to dive, the rest will be land based tourism stuff :) Browsing the...

Guys, On my last dive trip I got a bit confused about how to determine bottom time. The way I learned was to use the Total Dive Time as Bottom Time when completing my logs. However, on my last dive trip I did a couple of specialties and my instructor there (different from when I got my OW and...

So, I'm going to Bali during christmas, and I need some travel advice on how to organise it. So I already did some homework, and I know I want to see the liberty wreck (Tulamben), and I want to go to crystal bay and manta point (both at Nusa Penida). My biggest concern is the elevation in Bali...

Guys, I'm looking for some advice on controlling buoyancy with camera gear when you do this for the first time. As some know I'm a fairly inexperienced diver (15dives so far, all with an instructor accompanying me). I realise buoyancy control will be bad when you handle a camera under water for...

hey guys, Not sure this is the right location, but I'm trying to find out what people do to keep their ears clean when they dive. Last time I went diving, after about 5 days I developed a small ear infection which prevented me from diving the subsequent 3 days. Are there ear drops to keep ears...

Guys, I got an E-PL5 with Pany 7-14, and Nauticam housing +6"dome to fit. Now I did some reading online and it turns out that actually, this combination (Pany plus 6" dome) is not the best combi. I read that the 7-14 is soft in the corners (unsharp in fact), and that this was related to the 6"...

Guys, I got a wing style BCD from DiveSystem. When I bought it, the salesguy showed me how to tie the surgeon tubes that came with it (for BCD retraction banding). He showed me how to tie the knots. However, the knot he used feels wrong. I believe he used a granny knot. From my days with the sea...
