I made some arms from 3/4" Locline to Inon 240Z strobes quite a few years ago but I no longer have them. OK support in the water but not rigid enough above water to support the strobe but they can be wrapped on top of the the housing to carry. I put a piece of fairly stiff white plastic tubing...

Note that I consider myself a diver who takes pictures rather than a photographer who also dives. I mostly drift dive and frequently the current is significant. So I always shot TTL although I have tried manual a few times. Do I get some over-exposures for objects close to camera or over white...

I dive Cozumel about once a year. The current can be challenging on some sites but the sites with the strongest currents (you don't get to these often) tend to have the most sea life. Most Cozumel sites have no more (and often less) current than I find frequently at Jupiter and sometimes West...

While the app may not be available for andriod phones, it can be downloaded to your computer; at least to my Dells with Windows 7 and 10. As one of the photo contributors, I have been using the computer download for a long time. Takes a little while to get used to but then I find the multiple...

I received my SeaFrogs SF-02 light today. It appears functional; i.e., it come on and goes through the colored lights and back to white. However, I have a few questions and the manual doesn't provide much input. 1. When I turn the dial the number in the right window changes from 1 to 9 but the...

I have a new flashlight that uses either a 26650 or 18650 lithium ion battery. I have some Eastshine protected 18650 batteries that I have been using in my older light but would be interested in getting a protected 26650 battery since my new light only uses one battery. It appears lithium ion...

Are there any airlines that fly from Cozumel to Grand Cayman? Thanks, Rick

I have one of these strobes. Quit working after 4 or 5 dives. Sent back to Sea Frogs for repair (at my cost). Took ~3 months to return and that was after sending several emails trying to find out status. Based on the notes, the place in China that you mail it to has to send it to somewhere else...

I also have used a variety of cheap Chinese lights over the years. The ones with magnetic switches have been reliable until I did something stupid like not fully tighten the tail cap. However, I have not had much luck with the two I purchased with the push button micro switches. One wouldn't...

I frequently stay at Suites Bahia and like the Thirsty Cougar since it is close and the food and beer are good. The food is even better if Alex is in the kitchen which is about 5 days/week. I also like Cieleto Grill which is a block away. Order the pork shoulder there if you are really hungry.

The A6400 does have a pop-up flash.

Barmaglot, I have no way to measure quantitatively so don't really know but this appears to be the conclusion of a number of internet posts. I will try to do a few tests by changing aperture and/or shutter speed when I get a chance and then update this note. I should note that I may have some...

I upgraded to the Sony a6400 about 9 months ago. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 I have only had two trips since then and one was cut short due to an 'el norte' arriving in Cozumel. I have the Fantasea housing and am reasonably happy with it. The flash button was a tiny bit low which made it...

I went to Cozumel on the December 14. Had my strobes and wet lens in a REI backpack, my Sony camera and Fantasea housing in a 10Bar carrying bag, and my tray/arms in my roller dive bag. This is my normal packing. Got green light and no questions. The dive shop (Tres Pelicanos) was not aware...

How much info do you have on Cozumel? I have a trip scheduled in 2 weeks and am trying to decide whether to take my new Sony a6400/Fantasea Housing/Fantasea wet wide lens or try to get my Sony NEX-5N/10Bar Housing functional or take no camera at all. This will be my 12th trip to Cozumel and I...

I also have a trip to Cozumel scheduled for December 14 so if you find out more, please keep everyone updated. I am sending a note to the dive shop (Tres Pelaconos) asking if they have any additional details.

Based on my web searching it looks like the Ultimate Getaway is no longer in business for trips to the Dry Tortugas. What are the other alternatives to get to the Dry Tortugas?

Won't get to dive with my new system until September 20 so a couple more quick questions. Does the green light showing vacuum on the Fantasea housing keep flashing the entire dive or stop after a while? How often do you have to charge this light? If I enter the water with the UWL-09F lens...

I have just purchased a Sony a6400, Fantasea housing, and Fantasea wet wide lense. At this point I only have the 16-50mm kit lens that is useable underwater. Interested in hearing how others have set up the various camera buttons/functions/customs functions/etc. for underwater. Both for...

I would be interested in getting info on comparison of Fantasea UWL-09F and Kraken KRL-01 wet wide lenses? I am probably going to buy one of them but it is unclear what the pro and cons are of each. Thanks,
