    Holding a GoPro on a dive

    I put together a bunch of links so that I could turn the housing around without switching the orientation either in-camera or in post. So it looks like this big transformers link lol I had a 2 section pole from some lawn thing, cut the end flat, stuck a flat gopro sticky mount for the quick...

    Go Pro Fogging

    Go Pro Fogging

    Use the GP anti fog inserts as regular dessicant packs won't fit (unless you use the fat back and stuff it with dessicant packs instead of LCD, batterypac, etc) and otherwise do the air conditioned room thing. The Hero2 generates heat to manage battery life. I've tested the dual battery setup...

    Questions about Little Cayman Beach Resort

    How is the weather in the off-season (hurricane-on season) on average? What are the odds of a TS or Hurr in August historically? lol I see $799 all in. Is that ALLLLLLLLL in? Dive, tanks, all food, snacks, room service, etc? edit: just saw that it's based on double occupancy. I've sent an...

    Hydration and hydrating

    I drink a liter on the boat ride out to the site. Then a half liter or so between the two dives then the rest on the way back and I'm going to start packing a third liter Those Aquafina liter bottles. I've considered taking a camelbak but the bottles are easier to handle, tougher to...

    Tempted to splurge for the FantaSea FP7000 housing for the Nikon P7000 but....

    ..... I know from experience that the P7000 is not the quickest to focus on land and, since I shoot RAW, there is noticeable delay to snap the next photo (the burst mode will snap quick ones but then you have to wait the equivalent time as if having shot them separately) So I wonder if it's...

    Anyone willing to share an S95 or S100 RAW file?

    suffice to say that any RAW file will offer a magnitude greater of color information over a JPEG file to allow for sufficient correction. what I did with a jpeg-only SD870 was to point the camera at the sand at the bottom and set the custom white balance. This allowed enough leverage to...

    Can people really get scuba certified without knowing how to swim?

    I'm trying to remember what I did but it was at least 100m goggles only, tread water 10min (I mostly floated on my back lol) then 300m, I think, in fins/mask/snorkel. I don't remember if there was a break in between as it was no big deal since there was no time limit with the swim portions so...

    Any issues with Panoramic Dive masks ?

    Do you have an example? I use a Mares i3 liquidskin and I like it. It's a 3 panel mask where they've minimized the distortion of the edges where the panels meet, or at least minimized it's effect and there is actually some side view. WHAT'S NEW/Mares Liquidskin Mask

    Wire cutters plus folding knife? Where/how to secure cutters?

    I've been wondering about this; considering putting a folding knife in the BC pocket and keeping a wire cutter on the BC strap or waist. But wondering how to secure the wire cutters. Section of bicycle innertube? My first OW dive weekend we came upon some fishing line in the coral. I didn't...

    GoPro purchase assistance..please

    While I have the head strap (it's only $15) I haven't used it. I found the pole setup more usable and more stable. but here is GoPro's dive housing video that has some closeups: GoPro HD: Shark Riders - Introducing GoPro's New Dive Housing - YouTube
