Greetings- I just went from a 2008 Canon 7D to a brand spankin' new Canon R6. Got a new Isotta system I've yet to get wet, and new strobes. I'm officially able to try out TTL. Obviously, I'm hankering to try it all out. (I have used the R5 with a nauticam. It's lovely!) I'm wondering...

Greetings- I'm going with a new system... Isotta w/ a Canon EOS R6. Don't think that matters, but just in case. One thing I've always wondered is why I never see any focus lights on something like a Locline. Is that because it's a moot point? I've always had a problem positioning my focus...

Hi folks- I have only one day to dive with the Sea Lions (so excited) and I've heard a lot about Los Isotes. However, I'm wondering if it gets too crowded with divers/snorklers. I've also heard that diving at Lobos rock (San Rafaelito) is great for sea lion encounters. Does anyone have...

Greetings all... I'm looking to upgrade, but I really don't want to get in over my head. So this is what I have now: • 7D, Mark I (yes, the 2009 camera) * Subal housing (bought used) • YS-D2J strobes (2) • sync cables WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT: • You could drive over that Subal housing...

It kind of sounds too good to be true. It's a major investment for me, but I haven't found any reviews of it. Thoughts? Macro to Wide Angle Lens 1 (MWL-1) ~150 deg. FOV with Full Frame 60mm Macro Lens 150 deg. FOV with Full Frame 60mm Macro Lens

I’m in Stuart with no dive buddies, but I just got taught how to hunt lionfish while I was in St. Croix and since there aren’t a lot of lionfish to hunt there I was hoping to hunt some here. are there any groups that meet or shops that run lionfish dives?

As I hunker down in New York City, I dream of diving. >sigh< So I was thinking of future trips. I don't have the cash to fly to the other side of the world, (nor to stay in Hawaii where the cost of living is out of control) so I was thinking Europe. Plus I haven't explored Europe much. I'm...

Well, I want to practice dynamic apnea, but I really want to learn monofinning. Why? Because A) I need a core workout and B) I looks fun. But every time I search online, any reference to freediving is a dead link or all about how there’s no one here. I know I can do it at Dutch Springs...

Hi folks- I shoot Canon, but I think it's probably the same terms in Nikon, etc. Still trying to get better blackwater shots. Two questions w/r/t focus. A question about focus drives. Since so much particulate floats past the subject that I'm trying to shoot, what AF drive should I be using...

>sigh< I'm in a tizzy. I usually shoot with a Canon 7D in a subal housing, but after my macro lens went kaput in Lembeh (AAAAARGH) I used my back-up, a TG5 in an Ikelite housing. I don't know what's wrong with me... but I cannot shoot with that TG-5. Yes, I've gotten some good shots, but...

Just got back from a dive trip and WOW - my hands were/are a mess. I think it's just from being in the water so much -- my skin gets all soft and weak (and even whiter) and everything cuts it. I'm constantly bleeding. I'm not touching corals or hydroids or anything else. In fact, other...

I've got two dead strobes. But I hate throwing things out, especially if they're non-recyclable. Here's the lowdown: YS-03. Don't know how, but it flooded and I never checked it so it rusted. I haven't tried cleaning out because I think it's a lost cause. But maybe someone can use...

I think something must have gotten lost between the Japanese and English instruction manuals

I've read some "how-to's" on it, and I know what's needed (yellow barrier filter and blue filter) Since I can't afford the real deal, I'm going to try some guy's DIY get up. (here's the link if anyone's interested: DIY Underwater Fluorescence Filters) I was just curious if anyone has had a...

Hi folks- Strangely, the YS-D2 manual does not have an answer for this. I'm confused about the manual units on the right hand side. I understand that if the strobe is on TTL, the units are approx 1/2 stop either stronger or lower EV. -2 is down two stops, +2 is up two stops. But when using...

After 18 months using them, my strobes were acting strange. They were either giving me an all-white picture, or it was pure black. Manual worked for some reason, but TTL just died. You guys had *great* suggestions (thank you) and I tried them all. Swapped sync chords, used a different...

Greetings folks- I'm learning my TG-5 better and setting it up for underwater macro w/ a strobe. I want the flash setting to be on "flash fill". The problem is, I somehow lost that option, but only when I'm on microscope "magnify" (microscope control.) In other words, in plain old...

[Sorry, just noticed that I didn't specify that this was a TG-5 in the post title] I want to be able to switch between my two custom modes quickly, but the "mode info" screen stays up for three bloody seconds. There's got to be a way to disable this... right?

Okay, that's a horrible description of my question, but here goes: TG-5 with an Ikelite housing. I bought the "package" with the YS-D3 (mistake). YS-D3 is now dead. I don't want to buy a new strobe, so was hoping to use a strong dive light I've got instead. I'm not a fan of the flex-arm...

Was reading the DAN 2017 accident & fatality report, and they don't posit any reasons why this might have happened aside of her giving wrong dive profile info? Thoughts? Here it is: p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Helvetica; color: #5187a0} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px...
