How serious is the risk of micro flash ignition ( not sure if that is the right word) and CO accumulation when doing blends like 32?

Thnaks I managed to remove the little black disk on the top and that solved the problem. I checked with the Ikelite repair shop over the phone and they assured me that this part was purely cosmetic so no problem even if it broke. I now operate without that piece and eveerything is fine.

Help! The lever on the battery pack of my one and only Ikelite ds 125 got stuck half way and now I cannot remove the battery pack from the strobe, neither can I lock it in. Since I am in Sri Lanka we do not have an authorised Ike dealer. Can anybody tell me how to solve the problem. I am in...

Whoa That was great guys. thanks a lot.

Hi, Could someone tell me how to clean off the remaining bits of paint off an Aluminum tank? (Other than scraping it off by hand) Thanks

Hi Guys, I think Nishan is tied up with his research stuff so hope you dont mind me responding instead. I was also part of the group that did the two visits to the Hermes. The sea bed is at 53 meters at that point but the ship is half buried in sand so if you penetrate I am sure it would go...

Bobby Kriegel and Mark Smith are legends among the Sri Lankan diving community. It would be great if you could send me their e mail address or some contact information. Othrwise just point thm in the direction of Dive Sri Lanka! - Find out everything about SCUBA diving in paradise! and please...

I thought of dragging out this old topic since some of my friends tried to get this product and found it discontinued at leisurepro. having used it extensively i must say that it is a top class product and has served me really well. I hope leisrepro is persuaded to re stock it unless there is...

I remeber reading the book "Treasurers of the great reef" written by ACC and also remember two young American boys being mentioned in it. These two chaps who were first class divers would by now be in there 50's but hopefully would be still diving. cannot remeber their names at the moment but as...

South West is where all the dive shops are and the season is generally from November to April. Best months being December to March. The good thing is in addition to the regular diving operations down the south coast in areas such as Hikkaduwa and Bentota, the sub aqua club is planning to...

Hey May be I might come that way again. Diving in the east coast is now possible for the intrepid diver. Fabulous diving but very basic facilities. In addition to HMS Hermes there are two other wrecks currently divable. That is HMS Lady Blake and Hollyhock which went down one day before the...

Ok here it is for all those guy who pm'd me about it. The Hermes is divable again! A group of us 4 to be precise dived the wreck of HMS Hermes the first pupose built aircraft carrier sunk in 1942 off the coast of Sri Lanka. You can check out some of the pictures we took at Dive Sri Lanka! - Find...

Do people use cameras on land? :-) The issue is if I buy a WA then I have to decide which lens to use beforehnd. If I buy the zoom then I can be more flexible. In my normal dive sites I know exactly what I want and go with the correct lens. But when I am doing something new maybe the...

Thanks. Thats what I thought. I already have a 60mm Macro so torn between a 17-85 zoom or a 10-22WA. Money is the issue :-( which one would you recommend?

Any comments on the Canon 10-22 WA?

I think if the same lens is used both should give the same picture quality in an ideal surrounding. But the 40d has a lot of things going for it to compensate for the price. I think for a more comprehensive comparison you should read dpreview.com I bought a 40d and think its great compared to...

Hey thanks buddy. That really says it all. :-)

Over in sri lanka you can buy a small packet of nutella that comes with a small flat plastic spoon. I make it a point to always keep a few of these handy because a) I love nutella b) I have yet to come across something that works better as a o ring picker

Any comments on the 10-22 WA?

I have a 40d which like bfuqua I bought for the live view function. End of the day it turned out that this is the one function I dont actually need. Having used a 300d and also tested a 40d I can tell you that the performance of the 40d is far far ahead of the 400d in every aspect other than...
