This is my cross post from www.nwdiveclub.com for a long long long overdue trip report from Campbell River this past Memorial Day '23 weekend. We had bad vis near town but up north in Seymour Narrows (home of 15 knot currents on big exchanges) we had some phenomenal diving. We headed up...

Last August we made our first trip to Vancouver Island after the re-opening of the border. Earl at Abyssal Charters in Campbell River was our awesome host for the weekend. We picked a low tidal exchange weekend and filled the boat with a select group of Puget Sound divers/photographers in...

I'm in need of a new laptop for basic photo processing. I'm currently shooting with a TG6 and use Lightroom for basic editing and RAW conversions. All my photos fall under the amateur shooting for fun category and I have no plans to get more serious. I may end up upgrading to a dslr sooner...

My wife and I spent a week in Bonaire at the start of December right at the end of the low season pricing. We were able to find airfare from the Pacific NW for $530 roundtrip with only one stop each way in Houston, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity. We visited several years ago and stayed...

Cross post from www.nwdiveclub.com At the end of August I got invited to join some friends for a weekend of diving in Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island. We dove two days with Rockfish Divers and we also did a couple shore dives in the area. The main focus of the trip was to hit some good tides...

I’ve been struggling with my TG6 to get shots to stay in focus or expose correctly in any wide angle or lower light settings. I have my max ISO set to 400 and was trying higher shutter speed limits with no luck. Even with the lowest shutter speed set at 1/500th it is still taking shots with...

I'm currently looking to upgrade from my starter camera, which is an old Canon S90 with one Sea Life 1500 video light (for shooting stills), and I'm looking at a TG6 for an affordable and simple macro setup with some wide angle flexibility for my one warm water vacation a year. 90% of my...

Cross posting this from the nwdiveclub forum... My friend Matt and I spent memorial day weekend in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. We booked a room at the Buccaneer Lodge and Saturday/Sunday charters with Sundown Diving. We had originally planned on diving the wrecks for day 1, but the wind and...

I'm finally returning to the Keys at the start of June to visit some family and will be able to get some diving in while on Key Largo. Last time I was there 4 years ago my lack of cert cards and the very understandable distrust of the staff when I said I was capable enough for the advanced...

My wife and I had a 10 day vacation to the Kona Coast on the big island of Hawaii at the end of April. We stayed just south of Kona for 6 nights, and then spent 2 nights in Hilo before flying home. While on the leeward side we got shore dives in at 2 Step and Kailua Bay right in downtown. My...

My 40th bday is coming up in January and my wife and I are planning at least a 2 week trip to get in some exotic bucket list diving. I have currently been really interested in starting in Bali for a few days, and then heading up north to visit the Bunaken and Lembeh resorts. Ideally I'd also...

I'm new to postings but have been browsing around for a few years. Most of my diving takes place in the Puget Sound, but I occasionally get over to Vancouver Island and Howe Sound in British Columbia. I've also managed warm water trips to Belize, Key Largo, Bonaire and the Kona Coast. As fun...
