I've upgraded my photo game since I was last diving in 2011 and now that we're looking to our next dive trip, I'm starting to think about housings for my new gear. It looks like Ikelite doesn't offer a housing (or port) that can handle a 24-70mm f/2.8 L II on a Canon 7D. Is this so? Is there...

I was on another boat on the scene. Apparently someone arrested when getting back on their boat and they were able to save him. Sounds like kudos are in order, but I don't know the details. I only saw the victim's bc/reg/tank rig on the bottom (before we heard about an emergency) as we swam...

There was a shop in the Asburn area that we liked for the variety of brands but I can't remember their name (nova dive center?) and they seem to be gone. We haven't been there (or to an dive shop) in about a year. Anyone know what I'm taking about and what happened? Separately, I want a new...

Philkade is gone. Apparently still in country, but under a new name and no signs that it's a dive charter. What are good live aboard choices to consider now for the Similans and Surin that would feature small numbers of passengers (less than 20) and a good level of luxury?

We just back from our trip to Thailand and an amazing week on the Philkade which took us to both the Similians and Surin islands. The highlight of the week was surely us diving with a whale shark and its substantial entourage at Richelieu Rock. Also dove with many mantas at Koh Bon and saw...

I saw the Utila Aggressor parked by Cocoview on Roatan for much of the week. While they list Mary's place as a destination, it seems like they were spending a lot of time even East of there. Were conditions on Utila tough to handle that week?

I was finding editing to be slow to impossible on my PC laptop and was given a Powermac G-5, which I thought would be great to dedicate to film editing. I could not find a reasonable way to connect the two. I found a i.link to usb adapter which I hoped would solve the issue, but once...

I posted the follow in the permanant sticky thread, but it can be slow going there. Please supply any insight you may have for basic software. "I just got a Sony HC-7, which is high-def. I'd like to be able to cut what I record and add music. What's going to be my best bets, and is this...

Before my next dive trip (June) I'd like to expand into the world of video. 1. What's a good way to begin? It doesn't have to be a budget outfit, but I don't want to jump in with anything too complicated either. 2. Where are good places to buy video equipment and appropriate housings...

Did lighthouse reef resort ever reopen?

This was going to be posted in regional sections, but didn't know where would be most appropriate. Could folks please give some suggestions for higher end but dedicated dive resorts? While rather happy at the all inclusive dive resorts we've found so far, I'm interested to see if there are...

Hey Doc and other experts, It's looking like we're gonna have to reschedule our planned trip to CCV from June to possibly April. I know the weather is basically ideal in June. What can we expect in April? What's the topside like, and what the sea like on the CCV end? Thanks in advance.

We were planning on going back to Roatan again next June, but cannot fit in a trip then since we're circling the globe too much in the next 12 months. We'd like to make it soon rather than later instead. Ok, so the question is, what is Roatan like in February? Does it generally rain...

Anyone been on a GW dive near Capetown?

I dive with an integrated Suunto Cobra. Last week in Roatan, my gear had been switched for me during our surface interval to a new tank, and that tank valve was opened up. Not knowing this, I walked over, turned off the valve (thinking it was the spent tank) and bled out the pressure from...

Anyone know what to expect from the weather and the sea conditions in Bonaire towards the end of November? I'm starting to think about where to head for Thanksgiving and Bonaire's on the short list.

Disclaimer: I'm not an underwater photographer, yet. It was recently explained to me that normal consumer cameras (ie: Oly, Canon) are not protected from the pressure of the deep by the underwater housing, but rather that the underwater housing only protects the camera from flooding, and...
