Nice! You missed the clip of the turtle from April 27th with the diver flapping his arms like the turtle swimming by. I thought that was a fun shot. Paul

Let's do things one step at a time. -— What version of the Dive Organizer are you running? Should be 2.13.8.4884 software.mares.com "Full Setup" If you don't have the latest Dive Organizer start there. — The next step will be to get the cable and connector working. Are all four contacts on...

Which doesn't work? The CD or downloading the latest software off the website?

I don't know about installing from the CD. I just downloaded the latest software release from the Mares website and installed it. Paul

Please post a trip report!

Very cool. Good light down there. Please keep us up to date with what you learn about the wreck.

Can't do it on that date but a future Monday would be great if your schedule allows. I'm near in Oviedo near Orlando and can meet on I-4, the Beachline. (Or better yet if you go 44 to 415 to 46 you'd be in my backyard) Paul

Yes. I ended up doing my PADI AOW on the first five dives of the trip. I've had a YMCA Open Water II since 1985 which is at least the same thing. The best thing is that I got 5 different dives one-on-one with a very good local instructor that I asked not to cut me any slack. And he didn't. I...

Oops. Same problem with my post.

terrells, Thanks! I totally missed that. Now to find a filter for it. Thanks again!

That was my experience in the Y program. The assistants (or whatever their official title was) were great in the classroom, pool, and open water. They were well prepared and indistinguishable in their skills from the primary instructors. Paul

I have a Hero 2 with the infamous "can't focus underwater" lens. With the Hero 3 in the field the number of options has greatly diminished and are no longer available (Mako, etc.). I could buy a complete housing for $65 but but the time I do that I'm approaching the point where I could just buy...
