shots taken North of Havana. Shore Diving TG-6. No strobes. Only one video light. (I had intended using 1 video light + 1 strobe but fiber cable was cut just entering water). The goby was shot using the Microscope mode.

If you finally choose the TG-6, You can save some extra bucks buying the Seafrogs housing. I am satisfied with mine.

Good questions when talking about Cuba.😃😃. Infrastructere is not very developed thought there is plenty of good diving sites all around the island. Many tourist hotels have their diving centers. Most locals do shore diving. Even in front of Havana City you swim less than 300 feet and find...

It's a very nice and well preserved diving site.

Yes. Southwestern Cuba.

Yes

some photos taken in Maria La Gorda. July 2022. TG-6 in Seafrogs housing. 2 Strobes YS-01

I see no big interest in using a Macro lens with a dome port. Dome port restores the field of view lost underwater by refraction, then at the minimun focusing distance of the lens, a dome port will have a wider FoV and then the subject in the image will look relatively smaller. Additionally, a...

You've been given good advices here. It should be wise to follow them unless you do not have issues in spending thousands of $ or risking your own safety (UW photography is a distraction that could deviate you from safe actions and reactions underwater). It seems you are a professional...

Thanks Chris, It really took me a lot to get what was happening. At the end my conclusion was that in Microscope control sub-mode the flash was working in a different way as I suppose it should. With your post I Undestand now that the camera uses no-preflash when in manual flash and preflash in...

Yes, he bought at first an Inon strobe but in his later post he wrote : ...."otherwise will wait till my planned 2022 Japan trip and pick up a pair of Sea on Sea YS-03" That' s why I made the remark . Regards

Please note that YS 03 is fully TTL and You Will not have Control of the strobe intensitity. I believe anyway that it is discontinued product. Regards

Thanks very much James. You really help me to focus where the issue was. Microscope Control anyway is not a mode that I will use very often but I wanted to test how it performs and what results one can expect for and I felt fustrated in my last dive when I could not fire the strobes. I have...

I made some new tests. Still it is curious the behavior. In A mode, strobe fire only in pre-flash. Ok. In Microscope mode , flash FILL IN, strobe fires synced when in pre-flash. But in manual flash strobe fires when selected to no pre-flash. In Microscope Control, where there is no fill in...

James, Your are mostly right. I had misconcieved in my head the order of the swicth. You'll see in my first post that I said no pre-flash, pre-flash and TTL, in that order,. It really is pre-flash, no pre-flash and TTL. So when I thought I had selected pre-flash I was wrong. But the problem...

Thanks for your reply. There should be something wrong either with the camera or the strobes. I emptied almost 2 batteries doing tests and tested two differents ys01 strobes . Red eye function certainly off and flash set to fill in and during tests I tried also with RC but I don't remember how...

I kept trying to find a solution. And it seems I found one. But I do not find its logic. In YS-01 strobes You can select no pre- flash, pre-flash and TTL. With the TG-6 I use no pre-flash and it works fine in most modes but Microscope Control Sub-mode. TTL seems to work fine in Aperture...

Configuration: TG-6 + Seafrogs housing + Sea & Sea YS-01 Strobe si not firing when camera is Microscope Control ( Sub-mode un Microscope mode). It seems internal flash intensitity in this Sub-mode not strong enough to trigger the YS-01. I haven't find a way to solve it. Have any had this same...
