I haven't heard of anybody doing this. You may try asking the same question over on Wetpixel though. The mechanism of sliding the ring forward while holding down the button is more complex than just pushing a button. Moreover, if you leave the ring in that position, disconnect the lens from the...

I've used the lens with the dial set to 0.19m to infinity and 0.19m-0.4m, but definitely prefer the full range setting. While I rarely take shots that are farther away than 0.4m when shooting macro, I still focus from farther away than that frequently. Because the angle of view is so narrow...

What do you mean that you got it wet getting into the boat? Sounds like a bad depth sensor to me.

I can't say much about interchangeable lighting systems, but I can say that I know lots of people (myself included) diving the 21W Light Monkey can lights in LED and HID versions in the Pacific Northwest. I've been very happy with my 21W LED. The HID is a bit brighter and more focused, but...

You can contact your dealer to see if they can do it. Or you can also send it to the distributor, Nauticam USA (assuming you're in the US) in Florida.

Hotel Atwater is fine. I've stayed there twice on trips where we dove the Casino park for a couple days. It's nothing fancy, but well located in town and clean. We just ended up borrowing a cart from Scubaluv (one block away) and rolling it to the park (maybe 10 minutes time and fairly...

I can only speak for my experience with ordering custom (really MTM) from Santi. Since there wasn't a dealer anywhere near where I live, I had to have my partner do the measuring. The suit fit poorly at first, but Santi made changes to get it to a state where I'm satisfied. The biggest downside...

When a buddy of mine took AOW, his instructor did an air share with each of the students onto some blend of trimix at depth on the deep dive, in order to demonstrate to the students the effects of narcosis. He said it was pretty interesting for everything to become clear after breathing the...

They certainly have one on God's Pocket Resort's boat in British Columbia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfd7TPrW9fI Having used it, it is pretty sweet, especially with a bunch of heavy cold water gear.

So we ended up doing more of the north--Abu Nahas, Strait of Tiran, Dahab, Thistlegorm/Rosalie Moeller, Brothers and Safaga. Conditions were pretty windy and a long crossing in rough seas to Daedalus or Elphinstone just wasn't in the cards. Water temperatures on my Petrel varied from 77F near...

For a while I was using the Olympus software since I was still on LR4 which doesn't support the EM1. It is definitely more primitive than Lightroom, but it's free and you can perform basic RAW modifications like white balance, exposure and other camera settings like art filters or sharpness...

We're actually on a custom itinerary that includes northern and southern routes. The rough list is: Abu Nahas HYPERLINK "https://vimeo.com/75775998"SS Thistlegorm and Rosalie Moller Big Brother - Aida, Numidia and South Plateau (shark cleaning station) Little Brother - Cleaning stations...

My own experience has been different. Diving a steel tank in cold water, I never had a problem not using a crotch strap, but I found it really unpleasant when diving an aluminum tank in warm water. The positive buoyancy at the end of the dive causes the tank to ride up while my body sinks down...

It's worth checking out NWGratefulDiver's gas management article if you want some more details on this topic, more specifically the section on rock bottom.

Keep in mind that once the camera is behind a dome underwater, it will focus on the virtual image instead of the real image. This is going to be much closer than above water. You may want to try pre-focusing fairly close to the minimum focusing distance. The following article may help: Dome...

I've found the Canon 60mm macro focuses much faster than the 100mm macro. Are you using a focus light? Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100 using Tapatalk

US Navy tables contain a specific table for a required SI before ascending to altitude. See the slide with a heading of "Flying after diving-2" about half way through the following: http://www.ndc.noaa.gov/pdfs/USNDeco3.pdf

First, you have to download the Shearwater Desktop software. Once you've downloaded and installed that, you can use it to update the firmware, to download dives or to upload contact info for the start screen. They make it for Mac and PC.

In 'Deco for Divers' they talk about how RGBM is proprietary. There are some early papers that discuss the principles of it, but the actual constants used are proprietary and the algorithm must be licensed by software developers or dive computer manufacturers. It's a bubble model like VPM, but...
