I am a longtime Olympus user, E-PL1 & E-PL5 (both with Oly housings). But the 5 started exhibiting problems so I moved on. I purchased from Backscatter, a E-PL10 with their custom AOI housing. When I took delivery I was taken aback at how small the buttons are, and close together, on that...

Three years old, about 70 dives a year. One of my two has taken to shutting off on ascent. Yesterday I watched the light go out with the switch still "on" and no fingers or kit near it, as I hit 20 feet. While troubleshooting a couple of weeks ago I noticed it sometimes would not power up...

I just put a big divot smack dab in the middle of the standard (as installed by factory) port of my PT-EP10 that houses my E-PL5. Not a scratch, a divot. Monster surge and rocks :-( I have a PT-EP01 which housed a E-PL1, with its own standard (as installed by factory) port, its old but in great...

I've been pretty happy with my pair of YS-01 strobes for three or four years, except they will not trigger when flash power on my Olympus E-PL1 and now my E-PL5, are set to anything less than full power with anything approaching consistency. By both Oly manuals I should be able to conserve...

I don't see many replies here but I'll try anyway. I've been pretty happy with my pair of YS-01 strobes for three or four years, except they will not trigger when flash power on my Olympus E-PL1 and now my E-PL5, are set to anything less than full power. By both Oly manuals I should be able to...

Forecast looks great, but the Jazz Festival (or the recent Santa Cruz GWS sightings? You ever notice in those reports they are ALL 15 footers?) have led to me being the only diver signed on, and they need 3 divers to run. I have no monetary interest in the operation. And I'm not looking for a...

Why is it the bay island boats are all (that I can find googling) based out of Utila? Every itinerary I've seen starts at Utila, goes around Roatan and back. Why not the reverse, with direct flights to/from US to Roatan it would seem to make sense to base there. Taxes / fees? Generating business...

My experience both personal, observed, and anecdotal, is that the better a glove minimizes flush through (the warmer it is) the more difficult it is to put on, and to lesser extent take off. Has anyone out there tried wearing latex or nitrile gloves underneath the dive gloves? The idea would be...

Hi, I replaced my 5 year old XR-2 in kind, the only glitch is I can't download. The USB connection is found immediately but when I try to download I quickly get a timeout message. I'm thinking maybe I need to change the serial number which came from the old computer? I don't see any...

Hi maybe I am getting a little better at UW snap shooting, I've had the camera about 1.5 years, and I am starting to see some issues I didn't notice before: 1. Camera focus is soft, UW or top side it will not take sharp pictures except in blazing sunlit situations, and even then it's iffy...
