    Vessel Large number of red sea dive boat issues causes the UK to issue warnings

    Not only in the Red Sea. Last week I saw a picture on facebook of not certified/too old life rafts on a liveaboard in the Maldives. Now is 3 years out of date in this case most times no problem. But as a customer, you can or must expect that these things are ok. At the moment I won't do a lob...

    Backscatter Xterminator review + tips for processing multiple photos in one go

    Does it run on the old LR/PS 6 version? And if you buy a new pc or laptop, can you reuse one of the 2 accounts?

    Info Backscatter Hybrid Flash HF-01: preliminary review

    Don't have nauticam wet lenses. Have from AOI a +15 and from Saga a +10. But the CMC seems to work, but haven't tried.

    And does this work to over 300ft? For me 100ft is not enough, I dive over 160 quite regularly.

    Info Backscatter Hybrid Flash HF-01: preliminary review

    I know them, but they don't work for dome ports and also they don't work if you also use a flipadapter which is screwed already around the macroport. So no option. And my macro set has the same weight as the wide angle set, so it is impossible to add more lift without changing the arm length...

    Info Backscatter Hybrid Flash HF-01: preliminary review

    My floating arms are now just completely perfect. I don't want to change that. Also when travelling by plane, there is absolutely no room anymore in my luggage for another float. More lift changes also the length. I have had since 2019 3 Z330 and all have had problems. I use them a lot (170...

    Info Backscatter Hybrid Flash HF-01: preliminary review

    That is a very very very big difference. My Z330 are just 20 grams negative. So I am afraid my set will sink now. I don't see the option to make it more upward lifting as I cannot change the floating arms for the macro strobe every time I change a strobe. Also this will not fit in the luggage...

    Trilobite knife has rust stains already. What am I doing wrong?

    2 things doesn't exist in diving: -Stainless steel -Drysuits The only thing you can do is put some grease on it. Then it will rust slower and probably everyday rinsing and drying is not needed for a long time. We use vaseline for steel, and it works well (remember, the Netherlands are a skating...

    Best House Reef for single diver

    No, it is no hearsay. It was written in our traveldocuments from a dutch travel agency too as required. We said if required, we don't book. So we did not do it. But I know from others they had to do. And then the first 1 is at 11 and second at 2. When we came there they tried us also to do...

    Best House Reef for single diver

    It is written on the websites of the touroperators that sell this trip too. And I know from others that even if they have been there several times they lost the first day 2 dives because of this crap **** and they did not get any discount. I will also refuse to do these dives when I come there...

    Info Backscatter Hybrid Flash HF-01: preliminary review

    As I needed another strobe and Inon still does not have the Z400 ready (my Z330 broke again, they are for sure not very durable), I decided to buy a Backscatter hybrid flash. Retra Maxi is still not on the market (april), so I had to choose now if I want to take pictures. Will use now 1 Z330...

    Best House Reef for single diver

    We didn't, but I know from others that they insisted that they do the 2 guided dives. It was in Marsa Shakra.

    Best House Reef for single diver

    As you can dive with a buddy from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. But if you dive solo you have to quit between 4 and 5 p.m. So you will miss a dive. This is not fair to the solotravelers who dive solo. My experience is that it is very hard to find other solo travelers to buddy up. Most people come with 2 or...

    Best House Reef for single diver

    If you want to dive solo, you are not allowed to do nightdives in the Red sea diving safari places. But you do not get any discount on your 'unlimited' diving day. So you will miss a dive per day. Also the day of arrival is very expensive, you have in most cases to do 2 dives with a guide. But...

    Going into Deco as Rec Diver

    A lot of 'going into deco' depends on the computer. The old Suunto's got into deco under the shower if you dove more than 2 days in a row. So if you computer shows you 'deco', it does mean that you are in deco as every dive is a decodive, but it does not mean it is directly dangerous or a...

    CCR Cave - Why take it?

    And how did the divers do when they came back? From what I read the cave knowledge itself was ok. But the problems where some theory and mastering the ccr. These are the things I see too that are the biggest obstacles in a oc tot ccr cave crossover. So from the point of the diver seen, they...
