Did some homework regarding using a wet lens dome like the Nauticam WWL-1 or Fantasea UWL-09F with the 28mm, seems there isn't an appropriate Aquatica port for the Sony 28mm to sit flush against to make this option really viable. If I'm wrong would appreciate someone letting me know, but I'll...

My experience with the Nauticam flip adapter is that it increases vignetting which is why I'm reluctant to touch these in general. If the Aquatica one doesn't cause this I would be more inclined to take a look. I guess this would work. My other concern about using the WWL-1 is that since its a...

Did some further reading and seems I should save up more for a Metabones IV and the Canon lens. The fact that Aquatica has this as an explicitly supported configuration was also a big plus as I don't have to figure out on my own whether its going to work. Thanks Phil! Probably gonna pass on the...

Hi all, I recently acquired an A7RII and have an Aquatica housing that will be arriving this week, currently in a macro configuration with the 90mm. I'm looking ahead and would like to be able to do some close focus wide angle shot in the future, so looking at what fisheye options are available...

I'm assuming you are referring to the PADI AOW program, since you don't specify the agency but call out the course title. To provide a direct answer to your question: 1. You can spread out the course over a series of dives in different locations and across different times, PADI provides a way...

Thanks! I'll definitely check that light out. Now to see if I have a local dealer that carries it. In the meanwhile though, I'd appreciate any other suggestions from other people too.

@Tbar thank you, this does seem exactly to be what I'm looking for! So I guess the micro usb charging is more of a convenience thing but you can also pop out the battery? Also, regarding your stated burn time, which power setting was the light on to give you that amount of burn time?

Hey all, I was looking to get a new light to mount onto my camera rig and would like some input on what to get. I am currently using the DGX Max Video lights mounted on my rig but I realised that is way too bright for what I'm trying to do. Essentially, I'm looking for something that will be...

Hi all, I have some questions for some of the hobbyist photographers here who have set up their own website or found some other solution to host a portfolio of their photography work. Not sure if this is the right sub-forum so mods feel free to move this thread if it isn't. Some background about...

Just curious, what is your objective for moving on to AN+DP so early in your diving career? Are there some specific sites you would like to visit that's deep enough to warrant the use of accelerated deco, or perhaps the diving where you live happens to be deeper? I took fundies at about the same...

I apologize if that was the way it was construed. The only training experience I have is with PADI and GUE, so you can probably tell where I'm coming from. I can't really speak with any authority regarding the training standards of other agencies. The comments I made are of course not PADI...

Yeah if they had made teaching neutral part of the standards then I would have first hand knowledge of many instructors in violation of standards. My personal observation is that many dive pros don't seem to have great skills themselves, to say nothing of teaching these skills to students...

Since you posted in the region specific forum, I expect you want some information specific to the region? I did fundamentals about 2 years ago and couldn't recommend it more heavily whether your goal is to proceed to advanced technical training or to refine your skills but remain recreational...

Yeah I believe that boat changed hands last year, now doing mainly Tioman and Indonesia sailing from Singapore.

AFAIK PADI has not changed the standards to mandate teaching neutral during IDCs, but rather merely encourage teaching neutral in general? Correct me if I'm mistaken on this. I read that piece in the UJ you are referring to and was heartened to see that some PADI instructors care enough (or know...

When was this trip of yours? I believe this boat was bought over by a Singapore dive op and doesn't do Phuket anymore but I may be mistaken.

Hope you have a better time than I did. My one and only dive on the Duane, the current was really ripping and most of my group thumbed the dive while trying to come down the line. I made it down to the wreck with the guide and swam around for a min or two before deciding it was too much for me...

Well basically it came down to that the boat had good reviews and they beat the competitors on price for the equivalent trip. They also have nitrox included in the price so that sweetened the deal. I booked a budget cabin plus got an early bird discount which brought it down to about 23k baht...

Doesn't really answer your question but if you book MV Pawara on the 6-10th Dec trip I'll see you there.

Sounds like something that can be solved by buying a one way ticket.
