I just pulled my new DS51 out of the box last night and have been having some issues that I hope are user error. I have it set up as a slave with the EV controller with a Canon SX200 IS and Ikelite housing. When I have the camera set in manual mode (pre flash off) the strobe works flawlessly...

I was just wondering if there are any recreationally accesable wrecks between van island and the mainland that haven't been sunk by the arsbc. Not that there's anything wrong with those wrecks, they're awsome, I'm just curious.

SO my dad, new to diving, has bought a 19cf pony bottle but doesn't quite know how to rig it up. This is problem because I've never used one and don't have a clue how to rig one up either. Can anyone help us out, we're looking for ways to secure it to the tank as well as use it as a sling bottle...

I have a friend who as it turns out, through a few twists of logic, holds viewing and posting on scubaboard as a higher priority than personal hygeine. This person informed me that the first thing they did this morning was check and post on scubaboard, and THEN proceeded to the shower. Where...

I've been thinking about flying after diving and was wondering if anybody here could explain, in a fair bit of detail, the science behind it as at the moment I'm in a bit of a rut. To me it breaks down like this: When we go diving we are surrounded by an additional atmosphere of pressure for...

So I found some tanks for a good price in the states, placed my order and they should be sent out any day now. Having lived the greater part of my life where i could order things off the internet in the EU i was not aware of the evil that is Duty. So my question is: Should I cancel my order...
