Thought I would update this older thread to keep it a comprehensive list of TG-3/TG-4 dive housings. First off, it's worth mentioning that now there exists a TG-5, with lower resolution than the TG-4 (12MP vs. 16MP), but better low-light performance (ISO 12800 vs 6400), faster continuous...

Sounds like the factory housing is pretty good. However, I would love to hear anyone's first-hand account of any experiences with the Nauticam housing for this model. I'm a bit surprised they're making one; while they make dozens of different housings for higher-end DSLRs, mirrorless, and...

FWIW, my serious runner-up has been the Pentax/Ricoh WG-5, a worthy competitor to the Olympus TG series in that it's also rugged and waterproof. A major bonus to me is the controls and menu layout have not changed much from my older Pentax. However, there's only one housing option I can find...

Jack - I notice you also carry the Nauticam. What kind of wet lens connection options does that offer? I have also read consistently good things about the TG-3/TG-4 macro capabilities, at least for a compact digital, and that's part of its appeal to me.

That looks very similar to my setup with the Pentax right now, Skeptic; of course all I'll be doing is replacing the camera & housing. Question: Does that fiber optic connector adaptor come with the PT-056 stock? Or did you have to acquire that elsewhere? I've not seen that on any of the...

On my old Pentax rig, I used a 1-handle tray with a single Sea & Sea YS-01 external strobe that I would like to continue to use, but all these housings seems to have at least an option for a standard fiber-optic strobe connector.

After doing lots of research online, I'm leaning pretty hard towards replacing my ancient Pentax S5i (and factory O-WP2 dive housing) with an Olympus TG-4. I'm just an amateur and have no plans to be more than that, but I do love shooting away when I'm on the reef and sharing with friends &...

Try the mask sealant from Dive Right In Scuba. Besides putting it around the edge of my whole mask, I also apply some directly to my moustache, right under the nose where the mask rests. It has no flavor or odor and is silicone-based, not oil-based, so if anything it will actually help keep your...

Hey all - Didn't know exactly where to post this, it's regarding another online scuba forum besides ScubaBoard, but for rather obvious reasons it can't be discussed there. I totally understand if the mods want to move or delete this post, but I'm bringing it up because I know many SB'ers...

Orlando Sentinel: One dead after dive boat carrying 23 people capsizes off Pompano This was the South Florida Diving Headquarters boat. Commercial op, I've dived with them several times.

The Atomic B2 has been my workhorse reg for 4-5 years now, probably 150 dives or so. I can definitely say that it breathes effortlessly no matter what your situation, and no matter what your depth or orientation underwater. It's a first-class reg, and only having to take it in for service every...

Ditto what Steve just said. You certainly could, but that's a whole lotta $$$ for essentially zero functionality. At least if we're talking strictly a bailout pony, not one that's part of your gas plan. It would be like getting a wireless digital pressure gauge for that mini donut spare tire in...

While it doesn't come with a button SPG in the HP port, I use one and I'll bet 99% of Razor users have one as well. So the only hose coming out is for your second stage. Might still need to bungee that, depending on how you carry your pony. I backmount, so I necklace the 2nd.

To the OP: It sounds like most of the discussion has been about what second stage reg to use with your pony, but as far as first stages go, take a serious look at the Zeagle Razor (note while the link shows both the 1st and 2nd stages, you can purchase just the first stage). It combines both the...

Give them a break, they didn't even have cuneiform dive tables yet, much less computers... 'Dinosaur Bends' Caused by Prolonged Diving ScienceDaily (Aug. 15, 2012) — Dinosaur-like creatures may have injured themselves during leisurely deep-sea diving trips and not from resurfacing too...

Excellent! I have already sent him an email... This will actually be the second light head upgrade you've done for me, since I originally purchased it as an LED 500. It's been my workhorse light.

Is it possible to upgrade my LED 700 handheld to an RX10 by just replacing the light head from you (Dive Rite)? As opposed to replacing the entire handheld unit. I'm happy with my 700, but if I could upgrade this way for less than a whole new light, I'm thinking it would be worthwhile for the...

How can that happen? Is there no line at Weeki Wachee?

As for me and my skin bends hit, I have always paid lots of attention to staying well-hydrated before diving. However, I was then (and still am) on anti-hypertensives, although not the diuretic kind (mine's telmisartan). And yeah, I don't exactly cut a svelte figure.

I had a case of "skin bends" a few years back, although I did not recognize it at the time and only understood what it really was years later after reading about it here on ScubaBoard. I had dived twice in the morning off Jupiter, Florida, where the depths are typically in the 70'-90' range...
