    Video Quality-GoPro 10

    Hi all, I've noticed that my dolphin and shark clips aren't as sharp and crisp as I thought they should be with the 10. Especially when you pause the video, there's no way I could get a clear screen grab. Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong or if something looks off in my settings...

    Boat coats

    Surf-Fur all the way! My jacket has been a life saver. It provides warmth (soft on the inside), it's water resistant and wind resistant.

    Kona reef diving worth it?

    The pelagic dive is very different and something to experience... If you enjoy macro diving and want to see tiny alien-like creatures, then you should try it. With that being said, you have to be very comfortable in dark water, an endless bottom and have great buoyancy. The water can also get...

    Valentina COVID procedures and testing?

    Aloha, We are set to go to Socorro on the Valentina liveaboard in November (pending COVID of course). Has anyone recently been on the Valentina and know what the COVID testing and procedures have been like?

    Need fish ID (Hawaii)

    Aloha, does anybody know what type of fish this is? Looks like maybe a juvenile of some sort. Found in about 6 ft of water on the Big Island. UPDATED: It's a juvenile bluespine unicornfish

    Moray Eel in HI

    Aloha--this is also a whitemouth, just with a different color pattern. These guys are usually smaller than the regular whitemouths we see around here. I always enjoy seeing the uniquely colored ones!

    Interesting... I will try that. Thank you for the tip!

    TG-6 focusing issues

    Hello all. Over the past couple of months, my TG-6 seems to be focusing less accurately. It seems to have had a steady deterioration of quality within that time period. Focus hunting more, and frequently failing to focus when it is on macro focus (even when I zoom out, refocus and zoom back in)...

    "Long range" and "advanced" dives in Kona - worth it?

    Yes, the long range and/or advanced charters are definitely worth it. These are usually smaller boats with 6 divers max. Depending on conditions, they can go much farther than the normal 2-tank charters can go. I highly recommend trying to get on the Imi Kai with Kona Diving Company.

    What am I missing? LX10 vs. GoPro 6

    I just got the LX10 to strictly shoot video (upgraded from a GoPro) and have the hardest time with maintaining focus, even with a 1700 Lumen video light and contrast between the subject and background. It seems to constantly focus-hunt, which has ruined quite a few of my videos. Have you had...

    If you can get the Flip filters sent there, I highly recommend them!

    Filters

    I can't speak for the SRP filters, but I upgraded from the Polar Pro red lens/macro combo to the Flip 4.0 and am SO glad I did! It's really well built and heavy duty. Just used it for the first time in Roatan and it was awesome. The Macro Mate is really impressive. My set up is a spitting image...

    Honduran Immigration Pre-Registration

    Do I need a separate log in for my husband and I or can I complete both of our registrations under one account?

    Go Pro Video - Best of SouthCentral Alaska 2015

    Very awesome video! Love all the little critters. Are you using filters or lights with your setup?

    GoPro Hero4 black 2.7k HD Bonaire

    Thanks! From what I've learned, you don't need a filter when using lights. Those are the weirdest creatures... I thought the head looked like an eel but it had the body of a snake.
