As much as I like my Nikonos close-up kit, I haven't used it in a while; and now that I am in Yap without the instructions, I can't remember the proper lens setting :confused: I also have the extension tubes set, fortunately with the instructions leaflet: the lens has to be set to f22 and...

This may seem like an odd question, but has anyone seen / used lights that have two thin o-rings instead of one large one, in the same groove, in a screw-in light head? I sent in a Pelican Nemo 4C for servicing (bulb/circuitry problem), and got it back no questions asked. However, while the...

Just a quick question: My wife and I are going to Palau for a dive trip in March. We have the option of cheaper tickets that would entail a 50 minute connection in Guam. Is that doable?

My wife and I are going to Palau in March :D , leaving from Hartford, CT with a 19h layover in Narita. The airline (Continental) told us that we'll have to clear customs with our bags even if they are checked through, because the layover is so long. Of course, we intend to do a bit of...

As HID and high-power LED lights are becoming cheaper and more common, I was wondering if there were any concerns about their effect on the behaviour patterns of the fishes and other creatures encountered during night dives. For example, I suspect a group of divers wielding Light Cannons etc...

One more episode in the reg warranty saga... I was wondering what the exact procedure is to get the new Mares extended lifetime warranty for two sets of regulators bought in 2005. I asked my LDS, and the owner told me they took care of that: I had nothing to sign, nothing to pay, all I needed...

I was wondering if Mares could clarify something about regulator warranty requirements: When I bought my regulator, a V16 Proton Metal with Axis octo, a year ago, my dive shop was very clear that the maintenance record booklets that came with them were to be kept up to date, and that for the...

I've been lurking for a while, and thought it might be time to say "Hi!" My wife and I started diving about a year ago, mostly in the St. Lawrence and in the Caribbean (love Belize!). So, we're still fairly new, but gaining experience with every dive.
