I use a Sony A6500 with a Nauticam housing and can also vouch for Nauticam. Their housings, adapters and ports are top notch. They offer a wide variety of water contact optics and nice accessories like 45 and 90 degree viewfinders. But, yeah, it's expensive. I built up my rig over a...

“Scenic, one-of-a-kind and one-tank drives: See the most beautiful places in Northern California” Thought this link said "one tank dive" and was all over it - LOL

Did I mention it's all inclusive? Food and drinks add up my friend. And with the on site dive center there's no potential transportation costs. :)

I stayed at the Iberostar a few weeks back. All inclusive really a nice place. Top notch. On site dive center with boat access. It's at the south tip so a short boat ride to a lot of the popular dive sites. Al a cart dive schedule, that is to say if you only want to go on the second...

That's a really nice shot. I know the guys at Reef. I think I bought my housing from Kevin. When you tried it were you flipping it down or the bayonet option? I'm kind of wondering how the flip down setup works in practice. Thanks

Hey did you ever make a decision on this? I've thought about this with one of the dual flip down adapters with one of the macro diopters on the other side. Was going to post and ask what people thought and saw your post, which hasn't been answered in, like, 3 years. LOL Anyone tried this...

Ended up going with this one:

I think you guys gave good advice. It may just have been the particular dive I was on. My brother in law stayed longer and did a few more dives and took pictures of a bunch of critters. Still not wild about the drift dives. :)

Hey everyone, I'm down in Cozumel diving this week. I was here years ago diving and don't remember much. Through a variety of circumstances I only ended up diving twice, and only once with my camera. I was left a little underwhelmed. Not sure if I'll be back. The drift diving format...

I ended up taking it over to my brother in law's house. Took 3 of us to get it off LOL. I held the handles, Joy pushed the red button and George twisted the port off. Jeesh ....

Hey everyone my Nauticam dome port is stuck. I've read about this and I think I've just had it on there too long and with no lube. I haven't had this very long and the purpose of this post is to make sure I'm trying to remove it correctly. I think it's: 1) Unlock and rotate the little tab...

OK I'll try that too. I'll probably get 10 or so dives in on this trip so I'll try a couple things. Thanks !

I'll be shooting with strobes. I'll check the temp on those and adjust accordingly. Good tip. Thanks.

Hey Gary thanks for the response. I'll be shooting in RAW and will be tweaking in post. I'll read the Cathy Church stuff. Thanks !

Hey everyone I'm goin on my first serious photo dive with my new rig. How do you guys set your white balance? Does anyone use a white/gray card? I'm thinking about just using the "underwater" setting in the camera and then tweaking in post. Any other ideas? Thanks, Chris

I ended buying a Think Tank Rigged it as shown in the pic. Also have a small over the should camera bag for my lenses and such. Those 2 get carried on. My big bag is a combo dive/clothing bag that is siamesed in the middle. That one is checked. I also pack a lightweight ScubaPro mesh...

I've see a couple folks here looking for pieces for "lens experiments." I have my own lens experiment in mind for later this year. No custom parts just an unpublished lens/port combo I want to try. A lens experiment forum would be nice to have on this board. Where we could share what...

Thanks Redrocks. I guess I just need to jump in the drink and start figuring out what I like to work with. And don't like to work with. You from Phoenix or Sedona?

OK I bought 4 arms for the rig. Four 8" arms. They seem a lot longer than I realized. Any issues using 2 arms per side at 8" each? This thing just seems a LOT larger than my old Nikonos rig. Probably because it is. LOL Thanks, Chris
