One week on Aggressor III with a back to back trip following the dive week on the Nile Queen. The route was the southern route starting at Port Ghalib with stops at Daedalus, Elphinstone and St John’s reefs and then return along the closer to shore reefs to Port Ghalib. The diving was typical...

Am travelling to Marsa Alam to dive on a liveaboard and plan to spend 4 days in Luxor this fall. Trying to decide between self directed sightseeing from a hotel in Luxor and a Nile river barge trip from Luxor to Aswan that includes guides and stops to sightsee. Thoughts???

Flooded my Sea Dragon 2500 a couple weeks ago. No good reason that I could see, o-rings were still in perfect condition, vent not blocked or damaged, just came up from the dive and when I opened the light the next day to charge the battery out flooded some pretty nasty water and on closer...

I normally arrange my own dive trips so it was with some trepidation that I arranged this trip with a side trip to Lembeh through Underwater Tribe and Mike and Luca. Not really a “group” traveller. As it turned out it worked out well and I would absolutely recommend them and their organization...

Found near Komodo Island mid water at night early October. The shrimp is about an inch long the two poles attached to the front are 4 to 6 inches long. We watched this creature for about 2 minutes and the two poles are really attached - makes no sense to me at all. Initially it used the poles...

Well not quite everywhere 5 nights and 9 dives at NAD Lembeh in early October All in all an excellent trip. The bad first. Once again Lion Air was more than 2 hours late which meant instead of arriving late at night and catching the first two dives of the next day I arrived at about 3 in the...

Managed to flood my D200 on my last trip to Indonesia. Last dive of a 60 dive trip and I got complacent so the flood was my fault. Replaced the camera, lens and had Ikelite rebuild the TTL in the housing last August (2012). ouch! Anyway took the housing on the next trip 40 dives - no issues...

A quick summary. The boat and crew were excellent, the diving just so so. I would not do this itinerary again and would need to know that the diving on another itinerary in the Philippines was significantly better for me to return. The boat was an excellent dive platform with only a few very...

This AM went to look at a thread. Right Clicked on the Back button of IE 9.0.8112 (top left corner) and found a long list of http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/page. Can't go back to the previous page. This worked yesterday - and for years... Thanks ---------- Post Merged at 09:30 AM...

Managed to flood my housing (D200 Nikon). Not a full flood, but about 10% of the housing was flooded. Managed to get a wrinkle in an o-ring putting aport on in a hurry. Killed the D200 and probably the 60mm lens. Looks like the TTL circuitry is OK. Back of the board has some corrosion, but...

This was my third trip to Raja Ampat and second to Lembeh. Flew from Vancouver to Jakarta, overnighted in a hotel close by and then on to Sorong via Makassar. Stayed a night in Sorong before boarding the boat. Could have skipped the overnight in Sorong, but a bad experience with domestic...

Just arrived today and am planning to take it out on a three day trip on the weekend (if I can shake this cold that is). Anyone have any tips for using one of these? Will be using a Nikon D200 with the 60MM Macro lens in an Ikelite housing. Possibly the 105 as well, but that will depend on vis.

When/how often should a housing be sent back to you for o-ring replacement. I have a D200 housing, everything is working perfectly and I would rather not have it fail.

Was out doing a tuneup dive with my camera today. Spent a bunch of time in the "jungle jim" with the anemone's. Some great colours and shapes to play with. Spent almost an hour experimenting. Here are the best of the bunch. I do like cold water diving!

I will be going to Mazatlan next month for a couple of weeks. We inherited a time share so it is an easy vacation to take, and I have done a number of dive trips this year so it is my partners turn to choose the spot and diving is not anywhere near the top of the list for activities:D ...

WOW This was the best local trip I have done so far. The weather cooperated, the views and life above and below were amazing. Ferry across to Naniamo and a check out/get aquainted dive at Madrona. Went swimming out looking for the "wall". Never did find it, but did find a field of...

Was at Quadra Island over the weekend. Great diving! Arrived to get the Friday 7:00PM ferry from Campbell River across to the island. A telephone call to see if we could get a night dive got the response. "If you're ready to dive when the ferry gets in we can catch slack tide." This is a...

Did a get wet in a drysuit dive last night. Managed to flood the drysuit, not sure how, think it was the neck seal, just ended up completely wet and about a quart of water in each foot??? (I wear a wetsuit inside the trilam so didn't even notice until I got back to shore) A couple of young...

Managed to leave my charger on the boat - going to take a while to get it back anyone have the specs on their charger they could give me? (I have 20 or so chargers in my junk bin for laptops, modems etc) Just need the amps and volts. Thanks

Got some great pics on my last trip. Some of the other divers want copies. I am having trouble figuring out the best way of doing this. Shot in compressed RAW - each pic is about 8M. (Nikon compressed RAW) if I convert to JPG even at the maximum resolution the quality is only barely...
