Holy smokes. How did you manage to get the flash to work at 1/2000 shutter speed? I know that even my DSLR will not sync with any flash at that speed.

Why bother retaking the AOW? Take the nitrox course with whichever shop you favour - the cost would be about the same as retaking the AOW and you will get the nitrox certification. As for the drysuit, you don't need a certification to use a drysuit. My LDS offers some pool time with them...

I would use the analogy of leaning to drive a car. If you learn to drive where there is snow, you are a better driver than if you learn only where it is warm and the road conditions are good. Unfortunately, if you learn to drive where there is snow then move to a place where there is none, you...

Every year my LDS sponsors a "treasure hunt" dive where all of the prizes are donated by suppliers. They charge $15 per head and the proceeds are donated to a local charitable organization. It is quite popular as an evening out with somewhere around 70 diver attending. This is not unique to...

You look good in pink. Happy Birthday Chairman Pete!

I think post #6 on this thread says is nicely enough.

????Something Special. We dove that site multiple times during the last two weeks of November. Entry was through a vacant lot and we never experienced a problem. Parking was not a problem. Nice spot for seeing garden eels at 90'.

So, how old were you Rick when this photo was taken? Do you still have the suit?:D

The definition of risk as I know it is an event, that IF it occurs can have a positive or negative impact. You can adopt a strategy to avoid a risk by avoiding the cause of the risk. For a solo diver one of the causes of the causes of the risk is simply the choice to dive without a...

Beauty, and so true. It snowed here today. I was busy working on photos I took recently in Bonaire, so I did not bother to shovel. It rained tonight, so the snow is gone from my driveway. We are looking at booking our next WWW vacation mid next week.

Depends on what is too cold for a wetsuit. Heck, the water temp in the St. Lawrence peaks around 22C during the summer. A 5 mil is all I need then. As for now, well I will just wait for tomorrow, grab my shovel, and clean the snow off of the driveway. The forecast is for 5 - 10 cm of snow...

:rofl3::rofl3:

Based on the OP's questions, if Liz from GRI recommends using BDA, then go with it. We have stayed at GRI before, but my wife wanted something on the water this time. We stayed at Den Laman the last two weeks of November. It was not very busy - a great time for us to travel. Den Laman is a...

[/offtopicwarning] So, when the Bills move to Toronto will you change allegiance? [/backontopic] So, who will be their next victim - Steelers or Jaguars?

Apparently not last night.:14: Great game to watch. Boy am I glad we got an HD TV this Xmas. Now, if the rest of my picks work out this weekend I may just have some $$ for the new camera equipment fund. I am not a big Patriots fan, but this year I hope they win the next three. Maybe then...

I suggest that there are a few other factors one should consider in addition to the megapixels. The first is the quality of the lens. The "prosumer" cameras have a fixed lens that is quite small. Sure you can use optical zoom, but check the quality of the lens compared to DSLR and the price...

:lol: non-Texan sound.....great line Don, but have you ever been to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia? Speech is a bit different there than in Maine. I was raised in Manitoba. We definitely do not speak like the stereotypical folks from the movie Fargo, even though North Dakota is next door. We...

Nope. I don't consider it a major sport. Please reread the first line in my post. Quite honestly, ice hockey is a major sport where I live. Tennis is a not. Sure it receives coverage on TV, but it is not a major sport here. Precisely my point, especially considering the content of the post that...
