Today was a SCORE for the treasure shelf. Vintage dive housing for a Bolex H18 camera. Minty H18 inside… going to clean it up and leave it as is. This was a well used but meticulously cared for housing.

This is a post for new divers that may have experienced something similar to what is described below... Was chatting with a client of mine in my antique store and diving came up (SHOCK :p). She told me about her negative experience getting her OW cert. She managed finish the 4 dives but spent...

There is a line under my user name that indicates I and a DMC... I'm now a DM and want to eliminate the DMC. but can't find it in the settings. Can someone help? Thanks!

Headed to PVR airport next month. Flying on an airline that SEVERELY limits carryon luggage (11lb limits with a insanely small size). Hoping to avoid the dreaded camera tax. Getting an import carnet and bond was going to cost CAD$600… rolling the dice that this presentation will get me through...

I have been offered a Brand Ambassadorship by a mid-sized prescription mask manufacturer. This is a new endeavour for both of us. I will be paid in product for content (mainly photographs of myself and daughter wearing their product). Happy with this for now as I routinely spend several hundred...

Here's the new Diver Medical/Participant Questionnaire

Starting some long range planning with family for a multi generational, multi household trip some with medical issues. Trip will likely happen in 2024. Need some recommendations based on specific criteria: One non diving member (40) has Crohn's disease One non diving member (70) has prosthetic...

Been a few years since the mention of prescription masks in the photography section so I thought I'd ask some questions. I just got my new prescription and need to order new bifocal lenses. My skirt of choice for fitting my face is the Tusa Ceos so I'm looking for sources that either sell them...

Marissa Eckert posted this on Instagram after a recent attempted GoPro theft at Carwash Cenote. Some jerk tried to nab her camera while she left it perched on a rock to capture some footage. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRFXQIABOl4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Over the winter I bought my stepkids and myself new backplates and wings rigged with single piece harnesses (X-Deep Zens fwiw). The kids had finished their OW last fall but hadn’t dove since. My stepdaughter is actually Junior OW because of her age. She was perfect! No concern with the lack of...

I want to electronically create some contour maps and 3D representations of the local areas where I dive and to scout out new potential dive sites in local lakes. I want to keep this simple and inexpensive so I'm looking at hardware like the Garmin Striker GPS or the Deeper Smart Sonar Pro+. I...

Back story... I’m a father of two adult men but now have a teenage stepson and a teenage stepdaughter (14) that I helped certify as divers this past fall. Next spring break (2022) I’m taking the two of them on Blackbeard’s for a dive week. This will be the first trip for just the three of us...

Called my LDS to have them book 3 berths for myself, my step-son and step-daughter on Blackbeard's for (our) Spring Break 2022... They ended up booking a whole boat and my three berths are secured. We figured the demand will be there. Be great to have a group of local divers to spend the week...

This is an educational source created by two marine biologists. Coral protection, restoration and instruction courses available. I'm doing the Restoration Theory Online Course right now. It's a great place to start to learn more about corals, their structure and how to participate in...

So I have two step-kids who are now divers. We will be doing a lot of shore diving at my cottage and a few local lakes. My minivan just won't hold everything we need for the four of us (their mom is shore support) for weekends away diving and relaxing so I've decided to build out an enclosed...

After working them up to it with swimming, snorkelling and having fun in the water with my camera rig, rock collecting, small nets trying to catch rock(dock) bass... My step-kids want their scuba training! Into the LDS tomorrow with the paperwork and to get some basic gear (just proper dive...

So I built this today... collapsable aluminum bench with some 10” PVC pipe in an end cap bolted to the bench. I still have to test it... may cut the opening down and shorten the legs a bit. Here’s a question though... does anyone know the proper name and a source for the tank tube/holder that...

For a couple of dive days I’ve been having a problem with my D5 and transponder. I thought if might be the battery but had the same problem today after changing it. First tank and dive I don’t get a pressure reading. I sit and breath off the regs to trigger the transponder but nothing shows...

Yes there is diving in the prairies! ;-) Although to be fair we have to leave the prairies and head to Canadian Shield on the MB/ON border. My buddy and I set out to hit our 100th dives yesterday... and as true Canadian divers we went full traditional! Only pics of me as the ones with her are...
