    Another Canadian

    need help choosing undersuit?!?

    I ordered my after a ton of great reviews and recommendations here. Janice was fast, very helpful and make a super undergarment. I ordered the 300wt for N CA diving and it arrived two days after I ordered it. I never knew custom could feel so good! The booties round out the suit nicely. You...

    Strobe and white balance for digital

    When I started shooting with my Canon S400, all my pictures were really green or really blue. Through a suggestion on the board, setting the white balance manually, the colors of the pictures improved. I'm picking up my YS90DX on Sat. It has a color temp of 5400K (close to natural...

    base adapter for Canon WP-DC800

    I'm taking the plunge and getting a strobe (S&S YS 90DX, thanks Dee for your recommendation and comments). For those out there that are using the Canon S400 w/ the WP-DC800 housing and the YS 90DX, what base adapter/trays are you using? I'm having a lot of difficulty getting info from S&S...

    Softwear Undergarmets

    From all the positive replies on the board, i ordered my undergarments. The next morning, Janice emailed me to confirm my measurements and let me know that it would be mailed that afternoon. Like all of you have said, FAST and super service. I received my undergarments and took them for a...

    Another Newbie question

    I've just started in the great world of UW photography. I can capture all the vibrant colors of my dive as long as I like green! All my photos have a very green tint to it. Of course, I could cheat and use Photoshop to "clean it up", but does anyone have any suggestions? I have been...

    Softwear Undergarmets

    I know the amount of warmth a person needs to be comfortable differs, but since most of my diving has been Monterey, and many trips up to British Columbia, should I get the 300 weight? I gather from the replys that the DUI undergarment is 2x150wt. Do you actually get the same amount of warmth...

    Need feedback on Whites drysuits

    Thanks for the replys. From what I'm hearing, the suit's are great, comfortable and durable but the customer service end of it is lacking. I'm going to try to take a Whites out on a rental if possible before I make a decision. They seem to be a really well thought out suit.

    Keep us informed about how the Hawes works. I've been looking around for an HID but there seems to be more choices the more I look. Post some pics when you get a chance. Thanks

    Rock to Turbo Boots

    Are the turbo soles a different type of sole on the Rock boots or is it a completely different system style (but with neoprene sock and external boot)? I'm not a big fan of Rock Boots either since I don't find them very comfortable. I was just in my LDS and they had a new boot system there by...

    Steel E7-100 tanks worthwhile?

    Great tanks. I just picked up my E7-100 on Friday with an E7-80 for my wife. We got three dives on it and it's nice. I'm actually contemplating picking up another two...:D

    Need feedback on Whites drysuits

    Thanks for the input. Garfish: Your right about the extra features. The White's seem to be a little more streamlined than other drysuits which would suggest better fit. HOw do you like the Whites Suspension system (knees, waist, armpits) This seems to take up the "external" slack. DUI...

    Seaquest Pro Unlimited

    I got my at a great price but hydroslyder has a point. The Pro Unlimited fits awesome. I find it is secure, has lots of attachment point (may not be a good thing for streamlining though:( ). The Pro Unlimited is very adjustable for fit, torso/lumbar length etc...I also found it did not have...

    Canon S400 Digital Elph Housing

    I got the Canon S400 last week and love it. The housing should arrive this afternoon. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Simon, are there accessories for the housing, strobe, lenses that you know of?

    Monterey sea lions

    With that many sea lions, and the obviously large amount of poop they generate, are there equipment issues? Does it affect the diving around Breakwater? BTW, I hope that wasn't your boat;-0

    Hello from San Francisco -- any locals out there?

    In the Bay Area also. I've only done Monterey since I'm fairly new at this but look for any excuse to go diving!
