Why not get Final Cut if you're on a mac?
Think of it like this, if someone can make a career out of an application then chances are it's fairly complex. If you're new to editing I would suggest staying away from Avid. It took me a while to become proficient at it and that's after years of...
It doesn't mater how "slowly" you "say" something or how many extra consonants you type, telling the OP that you can easily do 6-7 dives in one day is ridiculous. Again, I never said it hasn't been done, I said it's not normal for pretty much anyone. Obviously you're not a normal diver. "Go deep...
Sorry to burst your bubble Skippy but you posted something ridiculous and I responded. When did I say it's never been done? Thank you for pointing out that I'm not at every single dive that every single diver has ever gone on or will go on. My quest for knowledge has now come to an end. :rofl3...
I've never seen anyone do 7 dives on any trip. You have to remember that the crew does not get paid extra for night dives and their usual day is tending to divers for 4 dives. So it's somewhat rude to ask them to perform the extra work for 3 more dives. The night dive is expected and if you go...
What are you waiting for Erika, hit Colleen up. Do you still have her info? As long as the interest is there I'm sure they hold a class.
So Peter do you think any other divers besides yourself would be interested?

A while back a camera tech/cinematographer friend and I did some basic level testing with a gamut of cameras. What we did was test MWB(topside) with white cards, white cards with full, half and quarter gels of CTB (color temperature blue), CTO (color temperature orange), ND (neutral density) and...
I use these extra large Pelican 1500d Silica Gel Desiccants. Also, get a bucket and fill it with the same water you'll be diving in. Keep your setup in there 100% of the time you're topside especially in between dives. This will maintain a consistent temp. If you pull it out for topside use(keep...
Here's a quick video I shot using the APS Manta White fins to white balance. When they uploaded it to their site it somehow stretched so hit the full screen button to fix it. White Balance Video Personally I think you should always MWB off of something white for the best color. It's easy enough...
I doubt they'll be able to cover every mile of the California coast unless their roster of citizen scientists and instructors increases. If you believe in their cause, which it sounds like you do, why don't you join up and start taking surveys in your neck of the ocean? It's a lot of fun and the...
Reef Check has been providing scientific data for a few years now and is well past the start-up phase. Here's info from 2006-2007 Reef Check California 2-Year Report - Saving Reefs Worldwide

Thanks Bob, everyone stuck to the plan and did an amazing job. The point of this vid is to visually prep the students and act as a supplement to the class. That's why it's not as elaborate as a "training video." Maybe that's the wrong term for it.

Salvador, if you're using a W/A adapter you've probably got very little room for focus. At least that's how it is on my setup. I've got a range of 1-100 and the combo of the lens and the dome port compresses that range dramatically. If I'm not set exactly at 21 then I'm out of focus. There's...
Dr. B I'm really sorry to hear about that, the Dell that is. I'm not quite sure why you think the music is antithetical and why it aggravates you. I don't see how any music can be considered appropriate or inappropriate when it comes to the underwater experience on video. I listen to music while...
I believe that FC Express does have the 3-wheel color corrector but what I'm willing to help with is a much more powerful tool, Color. Color is an extremely intimidating application upon first launch, and it should be. It was originally a $25K app called Final Touch but it can be mastered by...
We just finished post production on our official Reef Check California Training video. Thanks to everyone who worked on this which was a massive group effort including Captain Richard Gayou of the Sea Bass. 3 u/w cameras, 2 dive teams with topside support, U/W shot lists printed on waterproof...

Trust me I wish I was diving one tonight. That's because everyone wants to sell $3K DUI suits. Give the customers the option of buying a $1500 custom fit TechiFlex suit and there goes their cushy profit margins.
