    Diving Galapagos with Celebrity Xpedition

    Has anyone dove the Galapagos on a Celebrity Xpedition cruise. Celebrity says snorkeling in included and diving is extra, just wonder what the diving they offer is like. We are booked on a 2014 Thanksgiving cruise. Thx, M

    Canon S100 battery life?

    I have no problem getting two dives from my S90 - I turn off the camera until I have suitable subject matter and I have the camera flash turned down to 1/3 power, just to trigger the strobes. On vacation I have two batteries, charging one will the other is in use. I also swap out the memory...

    What spg do you use and do you recommend it?

    I use many SPG's..... My favorite are the two with the bolt snaps..... The large Dive Rite is my cold water drysuit rig and the small Highland is my warm water travel rig..... Truth be told they all work just fine.....I just have a family of 4 that dives so I can justify buying lots of...

    Could you help me pick up some safety cutting tools for my best friend?

    My opinion is that pointy knives are easier to hurt yourself with and can puncture scuba gear..... One of my tools is a blunt tip Wenoka squeeze knife......it seems to be holding up well, but it has only been in fresh water and I rinse and dry it outside the sheath after each dive day...... I...

    Basic Equipment question

    I use a large generic Walmart/Target rolling duffle bag and check it to get my gear to my destination. Dive computers and camera/strobe as carry on. Inside I have a lightweight scuba mesh bag for hauling stuff to the dive boat - the mesh bag takes up little space on sometimes crowded dive...

    Body orientation during a dive - what to avoid?

    One that comes to mind right away applies to drysuit diving - vertical with feet over your head, the air in your drysuit goes to highest point which can make get back to a good horizontal position a problem - in a wet suit I can't really think of a problem position. As a "developing"...

    Safety stops in OW with no line - tips?

    I find it easier to hold depth with some forward movement, so I used to practice by swimming circles around any "up line".....still do by the way! Like others have said, look at the particles in the water, stay horizontal, arms in front with full view of your computer. This is where i think a...

    some shots from my S100

    From my perspective the key to most underwater pics is a wide angle lens. Macro is the exception. WA lets you get closer and still get the whole subject in the frame - closer means less water between you and the subject, less water means fewer particles and and stuff in the picture which means...

    Manufacturers under different brand names.

    I think that like many other vendors Scuba companies source items globally from the same OEMs and private brand for each other for certain products at certain times......so there is no hard and fast rule for this stuff...... M
