Let me +1 this. I’ve made a very good living by figuring out how people choose their targets when they decide to do something they shouldn’t. Standing out from the crowd with your gear is a good way to get extra attention you don’t want. Not even by people who might want to steal your stuff...

Let me preface this by saying that I do have have anywhere close to the experience of some here. But I think the answer is… it depends. If the calves are more muscular, they’re probably not going to be as floaty, which gives you more potential options. Otherwise you need to think about where...

40kt winds? That’s a little dicey for my tastes. There’s a reason I won’t go in the water without an EPIRB, not to mention the rest of my safety/rescue kit. I’ve seen that movie before… the older fat guy goes first. And I AM the older fat guy!

That’s Jacques. We don’t like to talk about it. /it’s an allergic reaction //he’s very self-conscious about it

With the current contract, they don’t get half decent coin, so that would have been an improvement. :D

I’m not even a DM and I can tell you that you’re looking for a purple squirrel. I have a brother who has instructor’s certs and he was making some half decent coin in San Diego during the last writers’ strike.

Fellow RX100 ii user here. First off, your photos are very nice. I wouldn’t be getting rid of that camera if I were you. Getting a newer, better one? When the time is right, sure! But keep that RX100 as well. As a backup, it’s a great piece of kit. I’m running a YS-D3, and while it’s amazing...

I’m newish too (OC for a few years, but not a ton of dives). That said, I’m very risk aware (Safety and Security Engineering is something I’ve been involved with for several decades), so I looked at it from that viewpoint. YES!!! It’s worth it. For both domestic and foreign dive sites, one...

More than I care to admit :oops: /is very fat //trying to work on that

Thanks Dave! I figured as much, but without as much info on the design available, I couldn't tell. I'm prepping for a trip and I know that my usual camera (Nikon D850) is going to be used by my wife while I'm in the water. Since she's by far the better photographer, I'm okay with that. So...

Yeah, as much as I'd really love to hit Princess Alice Banks, it's 2.5 hours from Pico and like 3, 3 .25 hours from Faial. That's quite a bit of time to be on a semi-rigid. If we had more time, or were doing a liveaboard it'd be an easy choice as a "must see", but Terciera has a bunch of stuff...

I've got this Ikelite W-30 WA sitting here with not much to do, and one of the reasons is that I don't like having to switch around a lot between lenses when diving. I'm getting reading to move to the Fantasea Bayonet system for my macro lenses and was curious whether anyone has tried a W-30...

Hi guys! My wife is treating me to a dive trip in the Azores this July (she’s a non-diver, so w00t!). We’re going to be there for about 2 weeks, with most the the time divided between Sao Miguel and Faial, but she suggested extending the trip 2-3 days and let me pick between Pico and Terceira...

Shame that I can’t snag that strobe, but I have an old Sea & Sea 110 that can be used. It’ll be a nice backup for my current rig What the heck, PM me and let’s set something up.

Not going to lie, my interest is piqued. What is the case rated to?

What housings are used?

Figured it was worth asking :) Heading there for the first time this year, so I’m curious as to who else might be going.
