Im planning a trip to Morrisons Spring for July 24. With all the rain lately I was looking for a conditions report of the water from someone that has been there within the last few days. Any help would be appreciated. DiveLvr

Years ago I used to spearfish using a break down pole spear that actually was very much like a Hawian Sling except the spear did not actually leave the "handle". The rubber was attached to the end of the spear (passed through an eye on an attacehed plastic knob) while he other end of the rubber...

So I am to take it it is not wise to buy any Xenon or Halogen bulbed light like the UK C8 Xenon? DiveLvr

Thanks guys. In regards to the hand mounted, what do you think about one of the Intova or Dorcy lights with the light sock (I take it the "sock" is actually the "straping" that holds the light to my hand)?

I just lost my pistol grip 8 C cell light. It was my primary light and fine for what diving I do (cave entrances, wreck swim throughs, night dives in clear water, etc). From posts I have read the Intova Ultra seems like it may be a slight improvement. Is my take on what I read correct?

Would the Dorcy be considered as a primary?

I was on a night dive with a dive shop. I had a Princeton Tec primary (about $85) that had always provided enough light for me on night dives. I can only see so far anyway,even in broad daylight. The dive shop owner on the dive with us tried to shame me and my light as he was using one of those...

I have been a die hard ScubaPro regulator user since the 70's. I don't dive near as much as I used to but my 10 yo G 250 seems like it breathes much harder than a 2nd stage of this caliber should. For the life of me I can't tell a bit of difference in breathing when the Max/Min switch is changed...

So Dive4Cure, did you go into the hull cleaning business and if so how is it? DiveLvr

I lost my light while diving in the Oriskany. I don't do a great deal of night diving but when I do it is generally in clear spring water. These two seem to be about the same. Which is better? DiveLvr

This isn'tr really a discussion topic but I dove on the Oriskany yesterday. It was my first time there. The 1st 20-35 ft had bad visibility but once you decended past that the viz was 40 ft or so. There was hardly any current at all. Water temp on the surface was 72 and at 110ft it was about 67...

I know this is short notice. Tomorrow I am going to dive on the Oriskany off of Pensacola FL. I will be about 85 to 100 ft down. Forecast is clear sunny skies. Water viz is supposed to be good. I am using a DC 800. I want to take some wide shots of the "island" and of divers. i assume my strobe...

Thanks everyone. I will follow up on these suggestions! As to getting my lightin right...absolutely!

I am an old moss back diver. I am looking for an old analog thermometer to put on my watch band. Can anyone let me know where to find such a thing? DiveLvr

Just as a follow up, I am planning a dive in the Keys, specifically the Christ of the Abyss. I don't want to mess this up.How should I have my camera set at this location. Please help me out. Doug

While on my last dive I was talking with a guy with a DC 1000. He had a closeup lens that snapped right onto his housing. The lens would also snap onto my DC 800 camera housing. I checked online to get some info on the lens and read the lens is good for most of the SeaLife cameras but not the DC...

Can anyone tel me of some inexpensive (maybe shareware) software I can use to "clean up" my pictures. I'd like to take out back skatter but also come of my pictures need some color or contrast adjustement, cropping, etc. Thanks in advance, DiveLvr

I have a DC 800. I am trying to get familiar with it and taking pictures underwater. I was in a large Florida spring that was fantactically clear and as were the skies. I took a number of pictures while snorkeling with the camera/strobe but all turned out tinted (bluish I think). I read the...

Stay away from the Cochran computer. My unit has had a number of problems and I am very dis satisfied. After spending $1200 or so you have to spend another $300 for software to download your dives OR you are umbilicaled to the store where you bought it. When my Cochran malfuntioned I have had to...

I am the same way. While I have prescription lenses in my mask I still can't see well enough to see if the picture is focused. When divng in California wearing wet suit gloves I loose the dexterity to "feel" the "half press". I would like a more distinct click or stop at half press. Doug
