    Whaling: Right or Wrong?

    Lol only those are the population numbers given by the same "scientists" who are "studying" these whales. Whalers say almost 1 million minke, conservationists say far fewer.

    Whaling: Right or Wrong?

    Check your facts dude. It's like you're just using your own knowledge of cetacean ecology. "There has been an unexpected collapse of in the numbers of the world’s most hunted whale, the minke. Scientists are saying that a sharp contraction in sea ice in Antarctica is the reason. The latest...

    Whaling: Right or Wrong?

    What did i distort? I said 99% of the world upholds the whaling ban. And it's not 200-400 Minke whales. And Japan isn't the only nation hunting them. They are also catching endangered fin whales, and have fought to be able to hunt humpbacks. You know distorting the facts to fit your...

    Whaling: Right or Wrong?

    First off they aren't taking 200 they are taking almost 1000 minke whales. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4417462.stm Also you know why there are so many Minke whales left? Because they are SMALL. The smallest baleen whale. That's the origin of their name. Whalers didn't even bother...

    Whaling: Right or Wrong?

    Wow CaveMan is a good name for you. I never expected to see folks on this board showing such ignorance. You really think the whales are still there? Maybe you should ask the endangered Right, Blue, Bowhead, Fin, Sei, Humpback, Sperm, and many other whales. The only reason there are ANY left...

    Deepest shark ?

    This site has this to say about the deepest shark: "The Portuguese shark dives down over 9,000 feet (2750 m)." http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/sharks/allabout/Extremes.shtml I just found this through google so keep that in mind.

    jet fins or bio-fins

    You're not going to get a consensus on this topic on this board. But for my money i got the bio fins. Jets and the like were very uncomfortable on my feet and i never liked them in the water. The bios feel like they'r not there at all and (if you use them right) will move you as fast as you...

    "Travel" Lights

    The princeton tec shockwave LED looks like a pretty cool light. Dunno if it's bigger than what you're looking for but i've heard it's very bright, batteries last forever, bulbs last forever, and pretty cheap. I travel with the 8C UK LED light which is very similar.

    steel vs alum

    Yeah i'd reccomend just saying something like "I've got time to wait can you give me a nice slow fill?" Or just drop off the tank overnight or something and if it's low when you pick it up ask them to top em off. I sometimes go to a shop where they fill my AL80's to something like 3400 hot...

    Fuji S9000 - Is this top of the line point and shoot?

    I shot without a strobe in Monterey waters for months. You can get by within a foot or so where the internal flash can hit the subject. In clear tropical waters you'll be fine without a strobe shooting macro and available light pics. You should be able to get great results with the E900. I...

    Fuji S9000 - Is this top of the line point and shoot?

    I don't think Ike is making a housing for the s9000. I would say the E900 is one of the best P&S for underwater out right now though and it has an ike housing coming.

    EWA-Marine underwater case

    Those seem like they'd be more for splash environments and not total submersion. I would certainely be nervous about putting my camera in an Ewa marine type ziplock bag thing and then going to depth.

    Tips for getting some of the blue out? (digital, Picasa)

    I use Photoshop CS. I opened the RAW file with CS. Used the whitebalance dropper tool to select an area of the picture that was white (probably the nose line area). Then once that was open i just went to Tools->New Adjustment Layer->Levels... Then i just clicked the auto button. Some...
