    Strobes for Blue Heron Bridge

    Headed to Blue Heron Bridge for the first time later this month. I've been watching lots of YouTube video and the visibility there seems to vary a lot, as well as the amount of particulates in the water. I'm taking my camera, an Olympus E-M10 Mark IV, and wondering about strobes. I have...

    Tips for Blackwater Photography

    Going to dive Blue Heron Bridge toward the end of February and figured as long as I was in the area I'd try the Blackwater Dive that Pura Vida offers on Thursdays.

    LUMIX 7-14mm Vario on Oly E-M10 Mark IV

    I was looking at getting this lens to use in Fiji on the Beqa Lagoon shark dive. It would be used with an AOI 8” dome on an Olympus E-M10 Mark IV. One of my main concerns though is that looking at older reviews on the lens there were numerous comments about purple blobs appearing in shots. This...
