Another thing to consider that hasn't been mentioned yet is do you have a regular diving buddy? If so, you might look into getting a computer that uses the same algorithm as theirs. Other than that, get one that can handle both air and nitrox and like a few others have said, will operate in...

Something special is an extremely easy entry/exit. While we were there, everyone kept saying there was a frogfish in the shallows. So we stopped by the dive shop and asked where they saw it. Got a couple of different locations and spent about 1 1/2 hours swimming around in the shallows but we...

Thanks for the info Herman. I'll look into the Inon lenses, I'll probably try to pick up a wide angle lens as well. I can't say my skills are good yet, but hopefully I can take a decent picture with them after some practice. By the way, how are the results with just a single lens? Is it...

I have a balance and mine definitely doesn't make that sound. I agree with getting it serviced, if nothing else just to have peace of mind that someone has looked at it and confirmed what the tech support said. On another note, I've never used the quick dump on my inflator hose. I always use...

I used a standard jacket bc for my ow class and hated the way it felt on me. I didn't like the pressure on my sides and it just seemed bulky. I picked up a seaquest balance a few weeks after my certification and never looked back. It's easy to travel with, light weight and not too buoyant by...

I purchased a c5050 about three years ago and have slowly improved my skills. I've found that I really enjoy macro photography but can't get photos I want. I'm having problem getting good shots of the really small critters, especially the more skittish ones. I can't seem to get close enough...

That is drive by photography at it's finest ;) We were actually sitting inside the truck on the shoulder of the road when that picture was taken. If you're going to do that dive, I suggest going in the morning. The earlier the better. The reason for this is that the salt pans are right on...

Ask and you shall receive..... The entry to Tori's Reef I was just down there about two months ago and the entry was extremely easy. There are actually a few ledges on the right side of the outlet that step down into the water. They can be a little slick with algae, but with hardly any...

I don't have much info on what goes on at the grande. We only went there one afternoon to grab dinner at the restaurant on the pier(great food, but if you don't get a free meal there by virtue of the room you're staying in, don't go because the portions are extremely small for the amount you'd...

Another place you might consider is den laman. My wife and I are heading down there this spring for the first time and we chose that place. It's a smaller property, but they do have 2 bedroom condo's for rent. They have a great house reef, they share it with sand dollar. Both properties use...

Hmm, I don't know about the sandals grande for diving. I just came back from my honeymoon a few weeks back and we stayed at the regency. The regency and halcyon shuttle to the boats at the dock in castries, while the grande has a dock and it's own boats. So the people at the grande don't have...

You might get a few responses on the camera itself, but since the case isn't available in the states yet you won't get any info it's use. Check out this thread http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/olympus-outlet/233510-new-olympus-e-520-housing.html if you haven't already. That pretty much sums up...

The micro 4/3 could be a great solution but it could be a while before any of them show up. Unless they were working on cameras for a year or so before they announced the new format, I wouldn't expect any until next year. Even then I'd probably wait for the second generation of them to come...

The G9 is definately a good camera, probably the best of the advanced compacts right now. The reason I suggested to wait for the next version if you aren't going to buy the housing right away is that if you wait too long, you run the risk of not being able to get a housing for it or paying more...

If you aren't going to get the case for it soon, I'd say just way for the information on the next camera in the G series. Canon should be releasing information on it in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

What about snails or mollusks, or even nudibranches. Coral Polyps. Wrecks. MOD NOTE: THEME 01 - 19 October, 2008

Here are some shots I took from my recent honeymoon in St. Lucia. It's been a while since I've shot anything underwater and I ran out of time to refresh my memory on how to use everything on the camera before we headed down there (I'm sad to say I completely forgot how to set the macro mode...

I just came across this thread and just wanted to give another thumbs up to the oceanic/aeris guys. I purchased an aeris manta earlier this year. Took it diving a few weekends locally to try it out then went on vacation. While on vacation, the computer starting reseting when I surfaced. All...

Wouldn't swimming be more appropriate?
