oops just noticed your in england - another option at your age may be to get in the bsac system now. this may help you get more diving and if you go to uni (and there's a club) is a great way to get a lot of diving and training in cheaply and with likeminded people (in theory; it didn't quite...
my 2 cents on nitrox are this. newer divers tend to have higher air consumption than more experienced divers so dives are ended/planned to end because of the amount of gas left not the decompression limits. Nitrox will therefore be less useful to you until this situation has reversed (ie the...
this forum, digitaldiver.net and wetpixel are all free and last a lot longer than a PADI speciality dive or two. ask questions, look at others pictures for what you do or don't like and practise above and below water. There now since i've saved you all that money how about you put it in my...
in theory i think (check local regs). I know tampa bay saltwater have effectively done that for their live rock farm for aquaria (a very worthwhile project imo).
looks like a tiny juvenile grouper. I'm no good with carribean groupers but maybe red hind or graysby?
edited: cos alcina beat me i should point out that cod is aussie for grouper!
For some animals (seahorses, small cephalopods) and/or if someone else is waiting I try to limit myself to a few shots (ie 3 or 4), depending on the circumstances u/w I may go back to something later after others take a turn. One of the few times I've become genuinely annoyed u/w was with...
Personally - I use and recommend highly inon strobes and ulcs arms. Basically it seems if a strobe is really cheap its probably really weak. Another option if you don't want to spend a lot just yet (while you get used to the system, get your eye in etc) would be to use manual white balance or a...
had a similar experience when my tank valve was apparently rolled half-shut somehow. reg breathed fine at the surface and indeed not particularly badly at 20m max depth for the dive but my analogue gauge started bouncing like crazy - I realised what had happened and fully opened the valve and...
Yeah - if they'd filmed it on the w/e with a load of baited up oceanics that would've been some oscar winningly pant-soiling method acting.
As regards being left behind - are you all positive that if the boat is careless enough to forget you they'll be ok to see you're signalling...
I wouldn't discount on the basis of that picture which is not brilliant. Before I suggested it I did a quick google (they're fairly common this side of the atlantic but I wasn't sure about america). Came up with records from as far south as raleigh apparently. Of course it may well have been a...
Even if say you were entangled in for example some monfilament line or netting or somesuch that you didn't spot? maybe it caught you around your pillar valve, you can't see it but you have your knife right? so you reach back but cos you can't see it it catches you again around your comp/watch...
An option that hasn't been discussed is porbeagle Lamna nasus. I haven't seen a reason to discount that yet (which would also be a very cool sighting).
I've noticed something similar. The other thing I've noticed is there used to be a slightly hit & miss approach to trying new series along the lines of we've found someone who's an expert in making/doing x, lets build a series around it. Now its more the show about x was popular lets build 20...
The current model magic filters are designed for tropical blue water and may not be ideal for cali. w/out manual white balance and/or a strobe I would consider trying to mount your torch (Although you may need to difuse it somehow). I used this to get some nicish colour using a w/b free camera...
