This should be hillarious.. And it comes out Dec 25th ... Something to do between turkey induced comas.. http://www.apple.com/trailers/touchstone/the_life_aquatic/

How important is the speed of a charter boat when choosing a charter? On a scale of 1 to 10.. 1 being not important at all, and 10 being very important.. For me it falls somewhere in the 5 to 6 range.. Some of the best trips I've had were on the St. Lawrence.. It took an hour to get to the...

I was just wondering if anybody know if there are any charters running out of Port Colborne?

I have a wreck preservation question.. How do you prevent people from removing (or moving) artifacts from wrecks?? Charter operators don't tolerate this type of behaviour, but how do you prevent private folks form doing it? Any moron with a boat can pillage to their hearts content. Its not...

OK.. I did something stupid.. I bought myself a trawler to go diving.. charter boats just didn't give me the freedom I wanted and my current boat was too small... The problem is that the diesel in it hasn't run in about 5 years.. It was running back then... I don't know a whole lot about...

I missed the OFWF dinner because of a rescue course.. whatever happened to the BBQ/dive/camping thing that everybody was discussing.. Did I miss it? I hate to miss a good party and a good dive..

The ducks or bowmanville sound interesting.. I'd prefer something without current :) I normally get all drift dives around here in the upper niagara river.. Its would be a nice change of pace to be able to stop and look at stuff :) BTW.. Visibility in the upper niagara is 20+ft right now.. an...

I'm thinking about doing the PADI Rescue course in a few weeks. I was curious what to expect in terms of actual diving.. Is there a test at the end, and what do you have to do?

Olympus C5050 in a PT015 and a S&S YS90DX strobe... The picture was taken somewhere off Bimini on a Blackbeard's cruise night dive..When I looked at it on the LCD screen it looked like it didn't turn out at all.. but when I got it home.. wow..

I'm just hours away from leaving on my trip and I just got myself a Sea&Sea 90DX strobe.. Its pretty impressive.. Can someone please point me in the right direction in terms of settings for the cam and strobe .. Just a starting point, I'll experiment and learn from there... I thought I'd set...

Has anybody used the Ys-90Auto? What's the difference between that and the YS-90 DX?? Which one should I get?

I need some advice.. I've had my 5050 in its PT-015 housing in the pool for a number of weeks now.. Its really fun to play with, but I'm having a few problems and need some advice. At the moment I don't have enough cash to get a strobe so I'm limited to the built in flash.. When I use it I get...

Does anybody know where I can get some desicant bags for my PT-015? I have the 5 that came with the case, but they won't last long.. Do I have to use the Olympus stuff or can I use a different brand? Does anybody know of a good source.. Thanks..

I'm going on a dive cruise in a few days and I was wondering of some freshwater divers could give me some salt water advice.. I've only got two salty dives so far (Both were in B.C.).. Apart from the obvious about not trying to swallow salt water (persoinally I think it tastes disgusting)...

I'm going on a Blackbeards cruise at the end on Feb.. Does anybody know what temperatures/weather to expect? I was planning on taking my 5mm wetsuit.. too warm? too cold? should I bring a hood? I am also still looking for a cheap hotel/motel close to the dock because I am arriving the night...

Does anybody know why Olympus USA does not distribute underwater housings? I was just curious.... I know you can get them on the net (that's where I got mine).. Based on the discussions in this forum (and others) there seems to be a demand for the housings.. Why don't they fill it? It would...

Pardon my ifnorance.. I am new to underwater photography.. (Just got my housing today.. Haven't tried it yet) But what does an orange filter do? I know the water will filter out of some of the colors.. The deeper you go the more bland things get.. How does an orange filter fit into this?

Seasons Greetings! Santa brought me a brand new Olympus C5050Z for Christmas this year, and I was wondering what kind of housing to get. I really like the Olympus PT-015, but apparently they are not available up here in Canada yet. :( Can someone recommend a reliable place on the internet...

I was just wondering if people prefer pretty fish or cold wrecks in the great lakes..

I think I'lljoin my LDS on their New Year's Day Dive. Since I just started diving this year I could use some advice.. At the moment I am undecided if I should dive singles or doubles.. I like the redundancy that the doubles will afford me.. Two completely isolated systems.. One is Scubapro...
