    Mini review - Aeris EX Lite Travel BCD

    The 'bracket' is the rubber anti slip. The weight are up against the bladder, outside the tank and the pocket strap has Velcro inside that mates with Velcro on the cam band. You can click any photo for the supersize view.

    Mini review - Aeris EX Lite Travel BCD

    I couldn't resist the price for my first BC. In addition, thru Amazon, I could 'pay' with AMEX points lol. This came thru LeisurePro, an Amazon partner (supplier?) and at the time was US174.95 (and still is as of 7-29-12) I did as much reading as I could but there was little info and even...

    Backscatter red flip filter in action (GoPro Dive Housing)

    yeah. at 20 it's good. water is fairly green in the Keys. The best I can say for now concerning this filter is that it allows more room for color correction in post. I was messing with a new BC and regulator yesterday as well so I wasn't as focused on the filter (flipping it up at certain...

    Been out of the photo scene for a while - appears that prices have gotten worse...

    It's better than it was. It used to be hideously expensive ........... now it's only outrageously expensive lol.

    Backscatter red flip filter in action (GoPro Dive Housing)

    it was better at the shallower depths, nearly true color, as compared to when it had no filter on at that same shallow depth.

    Regulator Durability

    I recently bought an Aqualung Titan/octopus/Oceanic Swiv console. History thoroughly unknown. Had it serviced the same week I received it. Per the serial it was manufactured around 1998. I finally had it out today and put myself in multiple positions (the Sherwood Brut rental would get some...

    Backscatter red flip filter in action (GoPro Dive Housing)

    I chose to use some of today's footage of the randomly amusing jawfish in action. Using only iMovie 11; First video unedited, second video with brightness, contrast and some color correction. Exposure slider wasn't touched as it tended to excessively blow out the highlights. Purely natural...

    Any reason not to store regs like this?

    Looks good to me. I repurposed a camera bag into a regulator and weight bag lol

    For Those Who Have Shot Underwater...

    this is me with the boonie and someone else with a brake was to my left. The 300WM rifle would dislodge my boonie. At around 58sec you can see stuff fly over in front of me lol Recoil NMA4 AR15 - YouTube Here is that same camera (Canon SD870) underwater using the Canon housing. The...

    No pockets on BC. Where to add a 'dump pouch' for random stuff?

    I'm using an Aeris EX Lite BC and don't want to add any pockets to it. So I'm wondering what the ideal place would be to add one to a full westuit (with neoprene glue I guess?). Perhaps something that straps on .... A small pocket on a forearm? Frontal thigh? I'm posting this in...

    Are you all just technical? What is technical?

    Red becomes an ugly dark brown underwater. I use an analog watch with a red face (gift). I suppose if the fish complain about the eyesore I'll have to go with the G-Shock lol

    Are you all just technical? What is technical?

    Admittedly I'd always wondered about the hardon for black when it comes to scuba gear (perhaps its a beneficial chemical property the way it is in plastics) I do understand that black doesn't get 'dirty' but come on, let's see more color choices, for trim at least.

    neutral without the aid of a BC

    I'm thinking back to Thunderball (it was on tv recently) and noticed for the first time that he didn't use a BC. I don't recall any actors using a BC in the movie yet when they relaxed they didn't shoot up nor plummet down. I'm trying to remember if he even used a weightbelt. One thing I do...

    Gear Thread for your signature line

    On a camera forum I frequent someone once created a thread that lists their stuff, along with photos. This forum has the board code to acheive the same function in that each post has a number its upper right corner that is actually a URL address. This can be referenced in your signature line...

    Just got scuba certified trying to plan first dive

    Pennekamp in Key Largo primarily does 50ft or less. A 'deep' dive is first come, first served in that the first person to book, and ask for a deep dive, makes that particular trip a deep dive trip and the follow on bookings must be AOW certd and beyond

    For Those Who Have Shot Underwater...

    someone else I can tell you though that 300WM with a muzzle brake is a terrible thing to be next to when it's fired. Grass/dirt/etc getting in my face lol
