    Sold! Nauticam NA-A6000 Housing and ports.

    REDUCED PRICE! Now $600. I have sold my Sony A6000 camera and lenses, so I am eager to sell my Housing and Lens Ports. Having said that, I would prefer to sell in Canada but that is not a requirement, it is just easier logistically. (US Dollar will be taken at par ($1US = $1Canadian) if sold...

    I have come over to "the Dark Side" (Switched from Sony to Nikon)

    My underwater camera is, and will remain a Sony A6000 in a Nauticam Housing, but I am in the process of switching to Nikon for my above the surface "real camera". I have a theory ... no matter how meticulous I am, accidents unfortunately do happen, so I never dive with a camera that I am not...

    Great Deal, but I had to act fast (Anniversary present to me)

    Question Question about cumulative GN for all strobes combined

    My 2 main strobes are a pair of Inon S2000s. They are great little strobes, but are each GN20, so reasonably adequate, but not terribly powerful. I have them mounted on arms to spread them out & reduce back scatter. I also have a Sea&Sea YS-03 (also with a power of GN20) that I have as a...

    Answered: Why do I have to go looking for my own threads?

    Since some recent upgrades to ScubaBoard have taken place, I have noticed that if I want to see threads that I have started, I have to go looking for them in the actual place where they are posted. They do not show up in the "New Posts" areas. When I go to "What's New" > "New Posts" or to ...

    For Sale Nauticam 7 inch Dome Port Now $500 (Or best reasonable offer)

    Before I go any further, I would prefer to sell this in Canada. It will just be far more simple for me if I do. I don't want to deal with international wire transfers cross border shipping or any of the other issues of selling internationally. Sorry, but that it the way it is. If someone in...

    After far too long, I finally got to blow some bubbles again!

    OK, it was only a pool session (and PLEASE let's not make this about whether to log pool sessions or not), but on Saturday, I finally got to jump in and blow some bubbles.

    Question What are your thoughts on Garmin Descent Mk2 as a backup DC?

    It has been far too long since I have been diving and I am looking forward to the days when it is not so much of a pain to get to someplace with warm, turquoise waters. I am a recreational diver who dives in warm (tropical) waters while on vacation. I do not need something that I can...
