Thanks for the tip. The camera will be arriving in a day or two so will have a play. One question I had with the TG-5/Macro/internal flash with diffusion from case, is what is the working distance for macro (I assume I will be zoomed in) and at what size subject should I switch to non-macro? I...

So just in case someone searches this in the future here my decision and thought process. I went for the Oly PT-058 for the following reasons. - The internal flash still operates which will enable me to get some light onto some subjects prior to investing in actual lights. The Seafrog blocks...

Anyone have comment on the Oly housing and how effective the integrated flash is? Will be diving in tropical waters 15-25m plus some snorkeling.

New to underwater photography. Heading to Rarotonga soon with a TG5. I don't have lights and so am wondering about housing options. I can get a Seafrog for nearly half the price of the Oly housing. The main difference seems to be the Oly has a flash diffuser and better visibility of the screen...

I own a TG-3 and have recently started diving. I'm wondering is i should get a TG-5 and case or stick with the TG-3 get a Ikelite or Seafrog housing and maybe a video light (Gobe 1000?) and tray? The obvious downside of the TG 3 is the case will be obsolete when I upgrade the camera and of...

I have the same question re the TG 4 seafrog. It looks like the screen window is smaller than the screen on the camera.

Yeah. I don't own a suunto. Sorry for the rant. I guess this is my issue. This is a forum with all th faults of this type of forum. Your method is unavailable to me. Has anyone actually done this? Is it replicable? Is it actually something which tells me about the real world?

*rant on* I've been watching this form for awhile now. Also looking at forum history etc. Seems like most of the evidence for or against suunto is anecdotal. In other words **** evidence. It also smacks of confirmation bias and motivated reasoning. As a new diver looking to get rational advice...

New diver. So I'm heading to Bali next year in May for a birthday celebration with non divers for about a week. While there I'm hoping to do a bit of diving (Tulamben, Lembongdan. Might base out of Pandag Bai) Before or after this portion of the trip my partner and I will probably stay at a...

The ghost was actually one of the packages I was considering. Would just need to get the cost past my partner.

Damn that a lot of gear!

Travel plate not a good way to go? From Ziders post it looked like a one piece harness works and you suggested AL. I took from this that one lightweight plate with weights might be a good way to go. Did I miss something?

From this and Ziders post it looks like a travel plate may be the way to go.

Nice. I really like the idea of supporting a scubaboard member. Availability may be an issue or do you just harass him until he gives up and makes you one?

I'm a new diving looking at building up gear. My pet peeve about dive gear is that there is so much of it, so am looking at a BP&W setup as a way of reducing clutter and doing things right from the start. Single tank. I will be diving in 7mm at home for most of the year (Wellington NZ) but am...

I'm planing on heading to Asia somewhere May 2019 for my birthday. I'm a new and obsessed diver however others attending are not so enlightened. I'm after a location with great diving in may but activities for all topside with high quality accommodation and food. So far considering Bali and Koh...

A huge thanks for all the replies. I guess dmaziuk's comment highlights my confusion. Why the massive cost difference for connectivity and shiny screens when these technologies are standard and cheap on just about everything these days. As others have pointed out it may just be that its a low...

Basically title. I'm a new diver looking to get a first comp so may be getting this wrong. It seems like dive computers are behind the times regarding what would seem like fairly standard tech such as connectivity, screen type, memory etc. Is a new generation on its way or should I just jump in...
