    Dive knife for solo diving at CocoView?

    At some point I thought knives were not permitted in the Roatan Marine Park. Not sure if that was true or if it is still the case. Line cutters and shears are the recommended options.

    Check Your AA FLTS

    Just checked ours for Dec 19th and I think we're ok as of now. Our flight into DFW arrives at 09:29 and departs for RTB at 10:35. Not sure on return though, but don't care so much about that one :)

    Wanted OLYMPUS XZ-1 Camera

    Apologies for the delay; this weekend was our biggest show of the year at a local Christmas event (Cleveland I-X Center Christmas Connection) and my wife got sick so I had to step it up a notch. I will pull it out of the case tonight though and get back to you either this evening or tomorrow.

    Wanted OLYMPUS XZ-1 Camera

    I have one that's in great shape with limited, top-side only use, with a screen protector film on the back. Extra batteries with charger, Lowepro case and original stuff. Let me look at it tonight and see what the shutter count etc. is. PM me with an offer and I'll respond wit pictures and...

    What kind of strobe for a noobie?

    I started with the 1st kit that Jack mentions. Was very happy with it for the most part. I started to dislike the flex arm due to it being squeaky and getting stiffer to operate. This was after 3-4 years where I would use it for about 15 -20 dives each year. I also started to experience...

    TG-6 with PT-059

    I have silica packs and some absorbent strips that I've used in my GoPro knock-off + housing, have never needed them with my TG-4 + PT-056. The last trip I was on (Bali, Sept) I managed to flood my housing on a dive to 70'. It was a slow leak that I didn't notice until about the 25 minute mark...

    Rolex Submariner

    True tool watch? I like the Marathon TSAR and GSAR (1st is quartz, 2nd is the automatic), Sinn also makes some incredible 'tool' watches. Each to their own though!

    Midwestern quarry diving doesn’t have to be low viz

    I live in NE Ohio and have thought about trying this a few times, but I only have a 3mm full - which I hardly ever wear as we warm water dive only. If I wanted just to try it, do they have rental suits and what would be needed? I like winter sports so I'm not averse to the cold, providing I...

    TG 4 housing owners:. I need your brains

    I think that might be an unfortunate incompatibility between lens and housing. I have the TG-4 and PT-056 but use the PTWC-01 with step up ring. The 'neck' on the lens appears longer than yours, which provides the clearance for the strobe connections. This is the only picture I have on-hand...

    Booties..... what do you recommend?

    +1 Seasoft Sunray. Wife likes her Tusa's. Deep 6 might also be an option and they have a 50% off sale on them if bought with their fins.

    Choose first camera and setup

    If you've already got experience with the GP, tray and lights but want better pictures then the TG-6 is a good choice to step up to, but not the only choice. Depending on the lights etc you have, you may be able to use them with it. While looking at the TG-6 I would also consider some of the...

    Black Friday.

    And I'm assuming also for if/when sending regs in for service? Or does that crank up the shipping costs?

    Black Friday.

    I use the blue on a necklace with a short, black hose; orange as primary donate with an orange hose. The box is awesome, but does take a little tinkering. Take a picture when it arrives in the box and you'll have a reference for how to re-pack!!

    First smb opinions.

    I have the Sub-Gravity DSMB and like it. It gives me the option to purge into the bottom with an integrated 1-way valve (duckbill), a metal oral/BC connecter that I can use my mouth to blow into it or use my QD from my BCD. The middle-sized one (1.5m - 4.9') is great for Roatan and mild...

    Choose first camera and setup

    I have the TG-4, now combined with 2 x Inon S2000's. It is a good system, especially for getting into UW photography. I started with the TG-4 and YS-03 single light package. If going the single light route I would suggest one S2000, then can add a second one later. I also have the GPH7 Black...

    Fitbit Charge 3 and scuba diving

    Didn't have the guts to take mine UW on the last dive trip. I wore it most of the time topside and took it off when suiting up. My thoughts on this were based on the fact that Seiko has watches rated for WR where the R is "resistance" not "resistant" but state that 200m WR is NOT for SCUBA...

    New Regs

    +2 Deep 6 for me and the wife. Warm water vacation divers, love our Deep 6 gear. Went with the Signature series, plan on sending in for service, but love the fact that they provide service kits for self service or for use by a tech at a dive shop etc. Also offer service workshops for those...

    West end shore diving roatan

    My family was there for July, I was there for the last week of that month. In the past we have walked from our place at Cocolobo over to Lands End and dropped in the there with snorkel gear and then drifted around to HMB. I would bring a 3' orange float with a dive flag on the top to help the...

    G1X Mk III. Anyone using one?

    I would contact @JackConnick at optical ocean sales, the folks at Backscatter, or one of the other UW sellers (Reef Photo, BlueWaterPhoto etc). They can listen to what you're trying to accomplish, and recommend some options with the pro's and con's of each. There is no perfect system, but...
