    Help me understand Suunto SK8 Compass wrist straps

    I'd chuck the strap in the bin and whack some bungee on it no matter how easy it was to fasten.

    Review INON Semi Dome for gopro??

    It all comes down to whether you NEED the lens to fit everything in... For most marine animals other than 30ft whale sharks that are right on top of you, Gopro FOV is tons wide enough, and in any case being slightly further away from really large subjects so as to not scare them off is...

    Review INON Semi Dome for gopro??

    I watched the youtube link from stalefish, the distortion near the edges with the dome on looks horrendous, look at the right hand side at 0:20. I wouldn't ruin my galapagos footage using one, gopro is plenty wide enough as it is, although for wrecks etc it might be useful if it didn't distort...

    Fix Neo 3000 vs Light and Motion 3000

    I have Sola 2000's, I haven't seen a 3000 yet but a buddy has the Fix Neo which I got to play with and was fairly impressed. The controls are excellent, having said that my Sola's do what I need (quarter half and full power) and the led indicator is sufficient without needing a numerical...

    Grey cards, using grey and using white

    I've only used a white card and would think it'd be better to be consistent and stick with one or the other. The only time my camera won't WB from overexposure is using lights and for macro I use AutoWB anyway. I generally save 2 ambient WB presets (shallow/deeper) and switch between them. I...

    BP/W inflator hose- miflex or standard?

    Miflex on everything for me, especially short rebreather hoses with some odd bends. I use a 7' miflex hose too but am going to swap it for rubber for my next cave trip which is the only time I dive backmounted doubles any more. The miflex can be a bit hard to tame and is also a bit scratchy on...

    Which LocLine Arms to pair with GoPro?

    I had 1/2" arms on my gopro with 2 Sola 2000 lights. The 3/4" arms are meant for bigger lights. I bought some of them too (for a different camera) but ended up going to float arms/clamps for my Sola's on my nauticam tray and housing. The Smaller locline arms move really easily which is both...

    Setting regulator correctly

    If I understand it correctly these 2 controls serve the following functions on every reg that has them, regardless of what they are labelled: 1. Venturi - stops reg freeflowing and is usually a rotating vane in the path of the airflow. Keep it off (interrupting the air) on your backup while...

    1st stage keeps getting stuck on my tank!

    By giving the yoke and screw room to move together if rotated.. if the yoke is jammed against the valve knob and you turn the screw you'll tighten it further although the screw should not budge once pressurised. I have had the same and similar problems before and all the advice offered is good...

    Just Purchased a 'Go Pro'

    All a filter does is attenuate the (mostly blue/green) light coming into the camera whilst still letting the red through, making the colours more balanced. At 30m there is almost no red light left to let through so all you are doing is cutting down on what little valuable light there is left. In...

    Just Purchased a 'Go Pro'

    Try the GoPro forum, tons of answers to all your questions http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/gopro-video/ Short answers: 1. A filter by itself on sunny days will do wonders in ~ 5-20m depths with good vis. 2. Light(s) for close up with no filter, or for night dives/inside wrecks. You need 2 to...

    Mares Plana Power fin sizing

    I've used Avanti Quattro fins for ages, as well as trying every other brand of tech fin but always going back to my Quattros. I now want to get some Power Planas but the sizing info seems different. I am a US12-13 and the XL Quattros fit me perfectly. Can I expect the foot pocket of the XL Power...

    How much lift is too much lift?

    Well really there is no such thing as "too much lift"... but there is such a thing as having too big a wing, which wraps around the tank/s, is harder to vent, creates drag, makes handling more cumbersome etc. I dive a 25lb single tank wing and have never not had enough lift. I also have a 35lb...

    ARGH! This is the 2nd charging plug to break apart...Sola 1200 / TUSA 1000

    Mine cracked in exactly the same way, most likely during transport.. I epoxied it up. I've also had two stop working, one of which I heard pop. I bought 2 spares which I take on trips. I have to say, as much as I love the lights, the chargers really are a weak point especially for what the...

    A possibly silly fin question...

    If I'm diving tropical in board shorts I wear zipless, ankle high, hard sole neoprene reef shoes with my open heel fins instead of full neoprene boots. Wearing boots with shorts looks kinda dorkish, like sandals and socks :p jk I also have some Mares closed heel fins that I mainly use for...

    Questions about my used ikelite housing for my Canon 5d Mark 3 i just got.

    Seriously... what is your camera worth? To risk it in a housing that may or may not leak one time out of three in a foot of water? O-rings can become squashed over time and leak. Or it may be something more sinister. Get the housing serviced.
