    Go Pro Hero 6 Black SD Card Recommendations

    I just purchased a Go Pro Hero 6 Black and accessories through Backscatter. I didn't purchase SD cards because the ones they recommend are not on the approved list on the Go Pro site. As well as prices being significantly different across the board. I had no problems with Backscatter and they...

    Downloading options for Geo 2 / Veo 2

    The log capacity of either unit is only 24 dives. Short of bringing my laptop with me on vacation, is there any other method of downloading/storing the dive data? Thanks!

    PADI Open Water Course - Weight Belt Removal/Replacement & BCD Removal/Replacement

    My girlfriend is currently enrolled in a PADI Open Water certification course. As part of her course, I can train with her as a "refresher" (I was certified in 2007). This is a nice feature as she feels much more comfortable learning with me (classroom & water). We just did the weight belt...

    Inappropriate Ad

    At the bottom of the forum search results page is an ad from DH Gate that shows a naked woman and an anime cartoon character in underwear in a suggestive pose. While I'm certainly no prude, this is showing up on my work computer. Is this unusual or is it just me?

    Open Water Class Size

    I recently saw a photo of an OW class doing their pool work. There were at least 13 students and only 1 instructor. Is this normal?

    White Balance vs. Red Filter

    When should the red filter be used as opposed to doing the manual white balance? Also, should I use the manual white balance when using a light? Thanks, Keith

    Intova Macro Lens

    I'm looking to purchase the 52mm Macro Lens for my EdgeX. I found it on Amazon but noted this in the questions: Does this lens adapter fit the Sport HD II? Cameta Camera replies:This is only compatible with the Intova SP-1 Sport HD camera. If you have any further questions or concerns...

    Oceanic Geo 2 Download Issue

    I have downloaded the driver software & the OceanLog software but I can't seem to transfer the data from my Geo 2. When I connect the cable, I get the PC screen on the Geo 2 & the 2 minute countdown but there is no prompt to download the data and my PC doesn't recognize the Geo 2 as a drive...

    Cozumel Addiction Part II

    Do you ever have trouble remembering things or concentrating on what you’re doing because you’re thinking about diving in Cozumel? “I’ll have that file to you shortly!” as you rapidly minimize the Cozumel Forum on ScubaBoard. Have you ever broken promises because of your diving in...

    Weighting/Trim Question

    I recently took the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy class and improved my overall diving skills immensely. However, to achieve a horizontal position in the water, I moved my weight belt high up on my torso (think of old man/nerd pants). Is there a BCD out there that will hold weights in the...

    Airfare - Looking Ahead

    I'm looking to book my flight to Cozumel (August, 2015). I've been using several tracking engines (Yapta, etc) and the prices have gone up slightly in the last month. Do I pull the trigger now (to avoid any more price hikes) or wait (hoping the prices will come down)? :dontknow: The current...

    Why Nitrox?

    I just watched episode 5 of "The Curse of Oak Island" and they hired a diver to search a swamp. He was using a Nitrox tank and at only one point was he actually "submerged" (tank barely under the surface). Is there any reason Nitrox would be beneficial in this case? Also, the guy did some...

    2 Tank Dive Package Question

    Most dive operations seem to have a 2 tank/day dive option. I'm not sure exactly what this means. The last time I was in Cozumel, I used Dive with Martin. We went out in the morning and dove 2 different sites (used 1 tank at each site). The boat dropped us off at the hotel, we had lunch and...

    Malicious website attacks from SB

    Almost every time I click to view posts on SB, I get a notification from my antivirus software that malicious website has been blocked. It doesn't seem to be SB itself but something else. For example, today's blocked site is bevjmnt.hopto.org I actually had to get rid of a virus that infected...

    Lost AOW paperwork recently found

    I did my AOW certification in Cozumel with Dive with Martin several years ago. Upon arriving back home, I was unable to locate my paperwork. I recently found said paperwork and I'm wondering if I can just submit the paperwork to PADI or do I need to get re-certified? FYI - I have done several...

    When is the best time of year to dive?

    I'm planning a trip to Cozumel next year. Initailly, I was thinking about the end of August. However, I'd like some input from fellow ScubaBoard members. Heat doesn't bother me. I'm more concerned with poor weather and dive conditions. Cost of travel and accomodations could also be a...
