Preach. It can't do 2 back to back hour long dives in the Keys. I have to open the housing on the dive boat. Fortunately I have a vacuum valve for it.

When I shoot video with my RX100V they are usually short clips, and almost always in 1080p x 120fps. Id rather have the higher framerate than resolution at 30fps. I primarily use it for stills and my main issue with it is flash recycle time.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about AF-S. The conditions I was in probably wouldn't have been helped by lights. There was quite a bit of debris in the water, and the camera was really wanting to focus on that instead of the much larger subjects. I think there would have been quite a bit of...

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was applying the color correction to the entire project instead of to the individual clips.

I've been using my RX-100 VA to mostly take pictures but every once in a while, I want to take a quick video clip. However, I noticed when taking them, sometimes the water can get a tad murky or the subject moves away and the camera decides its the best time to try and auto-focus itself during...

I'm looking for any active dive clubs in the Charleston, Columbia, or even Myrtle Beach area that are active. I have searched exhaustively but most of what I've found has been long inactive.

Ok. I figured I should do something like that but didn’t bother for the 20 seconds of above water footage.

What do you think?

Some of the sites there weren't too bad with current and had decent swim throughs. Some were hauling, but just on the top of the reef.

Those were the main factors of getting a nauticam housing. If I’m putting a $1000 camera in it, I want to make sure it has a vacuum seal and high quality construction.

With a Nauticam Housing. Currently using an X3000 and I'm pretty happy with the video quality, its just very difficult to take any still photographs or to see what I'm filming. I still want to use it as a "dive video log" camera, I just want something better for photos. I might eventually get...

What are typical dive profiles? Should availability of nitrox be a concern?

Looking for some good recommended dive operators in the area. Preferably not a big operator with dozens of people on the boat.

Yeah I see your point. As it is, I was checking my dive buddies regs and somehow some water got through the octo and all up in the 1st stage. For some reason the SPG on this kit didnt have any signs of moisture. I'm not sure what went wrong or what I would've done to allow water egress into...

I took the whole setup apart and there is no indication water or moisture got inside the hoses. I think there was a tiny bit of water inside the second stages. Just a few drops but enough to cause the exterior bits to get damp. I don’t think any moisture made it past the diaphragm.

Yeah I think replacing the SPG is definitely the safe play. It’s only $60 for a new one and for life support equipment it’s not worth taking unnecessary chances on parts that might be defective.

I havent had any issues with buoyancy, but YMMV. I usually distribute about 60/40 dump/trim pouches and it keeps me level in the water.

I had been storing my regulator in its case for about 45 days since it was last rinsed. Apparently it wasn't completely 100% dry before I put it in the case as there was an odor of old moisture that was all over it. I also noticed there was a tiny spot, just a few droplets of moisture inside the...

I guess the best they can do right now is give these boys a crash course in swimming and not panicking with a regulator or full face mask underwater, give them a crash course, and prep the cave. From what I've read its going to be at least 4-5 hours from start to finish to get out of the cave.

Yeah I read that as well. I was wondering if anyone had any used one or the other or both as a comparison. Maybe I'll buy both. You can never have too much gear right?
