I am looking to upgrade my current camera system with the a6000. Ikelite has come out with a more affordable housing. Ikelite told me they will have a lens port for the 10-18 wide angle lens in the near future - my question is does anyone have any experience shooting with the a6000 4/10-18 lens...

just finished 6 dives last week with Stuart Cove and it was the best three days diving of my career. They run a first class operation with emphasis on diver safety, but give experienced divers the option to explore the reef and extend their bottom time. The first dive of the week we encountered...

Thanks for the info.. My wife made the arrangements and I think we are staying near a place called Cafe Marquesa?? I assume that is in what is called the old town but not sure. My level is master scuba and my dive buddy has his advanced, but we haven't been in the water since March and would...

Heading to Key West next month and would like a recommendation concerning which operator to use. Both divers in my group are experienced but have never dove in Key West before. Thanks Funland111

Just returned from our first visit to St Kitts, and it will not be our last. While there I completed 11 divers with Pro Divers, and gained my master diver certification in the process. I have dove with numerous dive operators over the years, but none better than Pro Divers. Austin-Margot have...

MJH - Your pictures are impressive thanks for sharing your website. I never thought about using the histogram to review my shots - I'll give it a try. I think my single strobe won't do much if it gets too dark at depth - I'll try switching to video.

Thank you for the reply. I am really looking forward to my trip next month and hopefully I'll return with some good photos. I'll change my settings to match your numbers. Hopefully I'll have time between dives to review my shots and make any adjustments if necessary. The trip to the Cocos...

During a recent trip to St Croix one of my main goals was to improve the quality of my photos. My equipment consists of a G12 with the Canon housing and an ikelite AF35 strobe. For the first time I used the custom white balance prior to each shot with the G12 set on program mode. My photos...

Just returned from a great week of diving with Mollie & Ed's crew. I have dove with many good operators over the years, but after my experience with St Croix Scuba they are at the top of my list. The dives ranged from the Salt River East and West Walls to the Frederiksted pier, with dive site...

Due to a family business we operate in Rehoboth Beach DE I can't dive during the summer and haven't had a chance to get to Dutch Springs. I do my local diving at Bainbridge quarry, which is not as nice as Dutch Springs from what I hear. I also dive a 7mil and after 30 minutes on my New Year...

EyeDoc Jim -- it would be great to do a dive in warm water. I normally start to year off with a New Year's day dive in our local quarry, which is around 40 degrees. I'll really appreciate St Croix after being in the quarry. Dive Safe Bill

Thanks for the input - it's a balancing act to arrange diving around our wives. I'm planning on diving in the mornings and then the rest of the day is hers. Bill

I will be making my first trip to St Croix in January. We rented a house on the east end of the island that apparently faces Buck Island. I am trying to get a handle on the approximate distance to Christainsted and which dive operator would be my best bet. I have looked at Cane Bay and Dive...

Thank you for replying to my question. I am going to push forward with our plans to visit St Croix. I was under the impression the island is safe as long as you use common sense. I was just taken back by the picture this fellow was painting, although me may have had a bad experience at some...

I have been talking about going to St Croix in February with a small group of five. We have been to St John many times and love the island, but we thought this year it might be nice to explore a new island. I'm currently played golf with a guy who travels to St Croix on business and he did not...

I just purchased a new macbookpro and I'm currently in the learning process switching from a PC to a Mac. I plan to use iPhoto, but not sure which photo editing software would be better for underwater photos - Aperture or Mac Lightroom. Thanks for any help. Bill

I was initially impressed with Collette's approach when she gave two novice divers weight checks to ensure they were weighted properly. Being properly weighted surely enhanced their dive experience, and demonstrated that Collette has a real interest in teaching and safety. Bill

Contact Six Pac Scuba - Colette Dietz. You will pay more but it the extra cost is worth it. She will let you dive your air more than Low Key and you will learn in the process. I spent a week with her and felt my diving skills improved. Have Fun

You will be fine with Clive. I'm sure he will not ask you to do anything thing you are not comfortable with. After his morning dives with us he taught at a local resort, so he handles divers with varying experience levels. Just tell him the number of dives you had have, and how you do with...

I never considered the possibility that going through security might have caused the issue. I talked to a member of my local dive club who had the ALT mode on his ai --- they are calling aeris. We'll see what they say. Bill
