    Trip Report MV Bavaria: Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock, and Surin Island

    Thank you for sharing. I am heading with them in March. Anything you brought that made life easier on the boat? How are they equipped to handle camera equipment?

    SR2 1st stage corrosion

    Maybe. I’ll keep a closer eye on whatever setup I have. The problem is only with my 1st stage, not my son’s or any of my friends. All are handled the same way. I did replace the dust cap 6 months ago. It was cracked. Maybe water was leaking in there without me knowing it and might be...

    SR2 1st stage corrosion

    Long time Sherwood fan but have nothing but problems with my current gear. Have an SR2 setup. 1st stage was already replaced because the HPP were too shallow (kept blowing my transmitter 0-ring). I dive 8-10 dives per month in salt water. Reg is always rinsed well and serviced every year. I...

    AOI FLP-03 port issues

    No AOI group but think most AOI users are using Olympus. I have had issues with my AOI gear...housing had intermittent leaks (Backscatter repaired the vacuum port) but now, my FLP-03 port has these dots on the lens. Cleaned and rinsed well and will not come off. I do not see it on any other...

    AOI EM5iii owners

    Hi All - looking for a little help with my new housing. 1) I am trying to install the bigger trigger that comes with the housing. I can't get off the cap that is covering the screw underneath. Any tips? i don't want to damage the housing already. 2) Can you share what Trays you are using? I...

    Feedback from EPL10 users needed

    E-M5 Mark III definitely has more bells and whistles, but not sure if photo quality will be better. Housing would be much more and probably better quality than the PL-10 AOI one. Thanks all - good feedback.

    Hi All, I have been shooting underwater for about 8 yrs now and primarily do macro. I have been using a Sealife DC2000 with macro lens and external lighting/strobe. I have been getting great shots (see some attached samples) but now have some moisture creeping in both my camera and housing...

    DiveAssure - terrible customer service/claims service

    Just an update. My claim was paid out in full less the $50 deductible. I finally reached somebody live (by trying every number I could find) and they really stepped up and connected me to the right people. I can say the emails and voice messages did not get answered timely. Once I was...

    DiveAssure - terrible customer service/claims service

    Hi All, Just wanted to share my experiences. I had a trip to Thailand booked to dive the Similian Islands. Developed some inner ear issues and had to cancel the diving part of the trip. Put in a claim just on the live aboard costs that I lost. Submitted claim March 18 and got the...

    Fistula like symptoms but....

    Let me provide another update. Since my last post I have flown to Australia and domestically several times. The ‘fullness’ in my ear has not returned. But, I continue to have low level bilateral tinnitus. Also, approx two days after flying I get humming in my right ear that resolves ~ 8-10...

    Fistula like symptoms but....

    Update. Completed 5 flights and ok. Tinnitus a bit louder but the fullness I experienced in the R ear previously did not return to the same extend (little cotton sensation). ‘Course these were all shorter flights (<3hrs)...heading to Melbourne today...it’ll be the real test.

    Fistula like symptoms but....

    Not that I recall. At least nothing that stayed with me. What kind of injury would recovery with normal hearing in two weeks and clean tymp tests? Cleared to fly and leaving this weekend. I guess I’ll see what happens. Just worried about causing a serious injury.

    Fistula like symptoms but....

    Thought I'd post here and get the SCUBA docs feedback. I have had some right ear tinnitus startup without apparent cause and the symptoms (some) are like. a perilymph fistula...but only some. An ENT consult today produced no clear causes nor feedback on next steps... Background, including all...

    Amphos Air - serial O ring ‘blower’

    I contacted Sherwood while still away. It took one working day for them to reply to me and I Fedex'd it to them the same day. Seems as though they knew what the problem might be. Great service though - I am really pleased given I am heading on another trip next week. Yes, new parts are still...

    Amphos Air - serial O ring ‘blower’

    That probably wasn’t the best pictures to post (it was a blown o-ring) but... Great advise everyone and spot on. Sherwood warranty repairs jumped in and expediated a repair since my computer was also acting up and I am leaving for a trip in 10 days. Haven’t tested it post repair (two...

    Amphos Air - serial O ring ‘blower’

    I doubled checked the first stage and the SR2 doesn't have the same potential plastic issues. Here are two pics. Is the seating still potentially an issue? Would be strange is certified techs messed this up? Pics attached...

    Amphos Air - serial O ring ‘blower’

    Yes, the transmitter O ring at the HP port. The technicians are the repair folks trying to solve the problem. All have taken the transmitter off and then re-installed (three different people). One was the Sherwood rep who happened to be in the shop in GCM.
