    Tiger Beach in January

    Work is taking me on a trip to Miami in January and I was thinking of taking a 1-2 day trip to Grand Bahamas to go to Tiger Beach. Is early January 10-11ish a good time to see Tiger sharks? I was hoping to get pics where you see a ton of sharks. Question from my spouse, is it relatively...

    What do I need to take pics of divers? [Beginner Q]

    I have an RX100 Va and the Sony underwater housing (MPK-URX100A). I've mainly used it on snorkel trips but now want to take it on deeper dives now that the family is certified. Ideally, I'd like to take pics of kids scuba diving with fish in the background. What additional gear do I need...

    YS-01 versus YS-01 Solis: What's the difference?

    Looking into getting into underwater photography and was eyeing two YS-01 strobes for my RX100M5A (RX100 Va). Aside from the new DS-TTL II circuitry, higher powered focusing light, and prism lens on the YS-01 Solis, I can't seem to find any other improvements over the older YS-01? Is it worth...

    Kids wet suits

    Divers with kids! My kids are getting into diving and I’m wondering about exposure protection. We’re going to be in Oahu in March (only time we had!) where the water is going to be around 75 degrees. What thickness do you recommend for kids? Ages 10-13. Slender build. I was thinking 5-mm...

    Fully exhale when diving? Breath control?

    I’m really practicing my air consumption since I seem to go through air quickly. I’m new at about 6 dives. Are you supposed to fully empty your lungs each time? I seem to inhale 100% lung capacity and then empty to 50% before my next breath. I guess when I empty to 0% I feel like I’m...

    Newb wanting to go to Cabo Pulmo

    Solo diver wanting to go from California to Cabo Pulmo. Are there any all inclusive dive shops that people could recommend? I plan to land in SJD and was hoping for a shuttle to take me to Cabo Pulmo. My biggest challenge is likely that I don’t speak any Spanish. Also I was hoping to pay...
