Hi folks, This might sound like an odd question, but please bear with me. Do the course materials for a PADI Ice Diver course include a student manual? Or is there only an instructor manual, with all theory being taught entirely through communication by the instructor (ie. verbal, whiteboard...

Hi all, I recently bought an E-M5 Mark III and it's an amazing camera. But I'm having trouble getting it to work with my Sea & Sea YS-D2 strobes. Hoping someone can help. With the EM5iii in aperture priority, F8, ISO 200, flash slow limit set to 1/100 and the X-sync on the default 1/250, in...

I'm looking to buy a new camera and am tossing up between the Sony a6400 and a6600. One of the key feature differences is in-body image stabilisation on the a6600. For the a6400, its lens only, so a decision on whether to use it needs to be made before the dive. I've seen several discussions...

Hi all, For about 5 years I've had an entry-level interchangeable lens camera in the Olympus E-PL5 with factory housing. For a while the camera has been showing wear and tear (niggly issues, loose buttons, etc), and more recently it died rather suddenly when the housing flooded (I had...

Yesterday on a dive I had 12 minutes of deco to clear at 6m. Even though my buoyancy had me sticking bang on 6m the entire stop (give or take .3m either side), it took 24 minutes to clear that 12 minutes of deco. I suspect I've had similar issues with this computer before. I normally have my...

Hi all - I hope someone can offer some useful advice with a problem I'm having. I've had an E-PL5 for a few years, in the Oly housing (PT-EP10). Until recently it has worked flawlessly. Recently it has started capturing an entirely black frame with some shots, then most shots, and now all...

So the EM5 Mark III has been announced and it looks like a pretty awesome camera (though not cheap). Has anyone seen any information on if/when Olympus will release an underwater housing for it (as they did with the mark ii)?

Hi all, I have an Olympus E-PL5 in the PT-EP10 housing and have been shooting for a couple of years with either no light or a 2500 lumens video light. I've taken what I think are some good shots, but I'm really starting to feel the limitations of weak light. I've finally decided to fork out for...

Hi all, I'm planning out a 10 day trip to Lakes Entrance, Croajingalong National Park, and Mallacoota in November. It's not a dive trip, but anywhere I go I like to suss out the diving options and see if I can get a dive or two in. Shore or boat doesn't matter. Do you know of any dive...

I'm rather disappointed in myself after this experience, but thought I would post to help others not make the same mistakes (plural). I was diving off a boat with a regular buddy, down to 30m. Me in a 7mm wettie (11c/52f water - I was the only person on the boat without a dry suit, haha) with...

Does anyone else with an A300 CS have this issue? When I download the dive logs from my computer, the dive time on the downloaded log does not match the dive time shown on the computer. Sometimes it might be 15-20 minutes longer on the downloaded log. It's not always out, and most often seems...
