The island is in a panic.! Will dives have to be cancelled? Will schools have to close? Temps are supposed to drop this weekend to the LOWER 70s!! How will we survive? Meanwhile our friends back home in Massachusetts are getting only 2' of snow this weekend. I'll take the lower 70s...

The backstory: At the start of what was supposed to be a 3-month visit to the Cayman Islands in January 2020, my new Gen 1 SeaFrogs a6XXX housing leaked on my fourth dive. I thought it was a problem with the back. After going back and forth with SeaFrogs, they decided it was the front and agreed...

Dive this coming week just cancelled for the 4th week in a row due to tropical storm/hurricane activity. Longest and most active storm season down here since they started counting. Going from bad to worse for the dive shops.

Thanks to Eta. Storm arrived a couple of hours ago and is supposed to peak over the next few hours. Winds should stay below 60 mph if all goes well (and when does that ever happen). We have 5 palm trees down on our property so far. This will make the third week of no diving but hopefully...

Seven Mile Beach is normally calm as a lake... But thanks to Zeta, today it's Surf City.....

One of the few/only side benefits of COVID .... Premier: No referendum on Election Day - Cayman Compass Having no cruise ships and local boats operating here the past few months seems to have had a very positive effect on the reefs and marine life. I've done several dives the past couple of...

Was finally able to get a dive in now that the island is open for diving. It felt great just being under the water, but both dives were fantastic and the marine life was teeming. We did Eagle Ray Pass and were rewarded with two large spotted eagle rays swimming side by side along the wall...

In case you have a spare few millions hanging around. Or maybe now is not the time.... From the latest Compass newspaper:

Hoping I might get some insight here as to why my camera housing flooded. I use a Seafrogs (Meikon) A6XXX Salted Line housing with my Sony A6400. The housing had been used on only 4 dives with no problem before flooding this time. I have the vacuum pump system, and the housing held...

I’m an experienced land photographer who decided to try underwater photography a couple of years ago. To keep it simple I started with an old Canon S110 P&S and Canon housing, shooting RAW with ambient light. The image quality was very good, but never great (see a couple of examples below), so...

I have been using an old Canon s110 point & shoot and a Canon housing just to get used to underwater photography. That housing is a simple set-up with a fixed port and one primary 0-ring around the housing enclosure that I cleaned and greased before every dive, as it took only about 5 minutes...

If you'll be there and are certified, join the hunt! Cullers needed for next lionfish tournament

I’ve been diving with a Zeagle express tech with the (essentially weightless) polymer backplate and 24 lb horseshoe wing on my last 100 or so dives. Diving in a 5mm full wetsuit, I use 12 lb of weight (2 lb on each shoulder and 4lb on each hip), and have been able to establish good buoyancy...
