Here are two pics I took with the iphone. I guess I need to make my videos into youtubes before I can insert them? Again, this is a PHONE, and it's primary purpose is not to function as a camera (or a compass). When it outperforms my JVC underwater camera which is primarily meant to be a...

You make it sound so negative!! Seriously, I have a little JVC camera with underwater housing and strobe and I got better pictures from my iphone than I did with the JVC! There is a fix for the software available through iTunes and I'm hopeful it will fix the glitches. With my JVC I rarely...

I'm ok looking like I've been diving all day - I just want some recovery period. I know that when I rip off my mask and beanie that I look just like the gal across from me doing the same. I get involved in discussing the fun stuff we saw down there and forget about my appearance. But once a...

My story isn't quite so dramatic but it points out the hubris that some divers possess. Last year we were diving a wreck and during the dive briefing the divemaster emphasized that it is imperative to go down on the mooring line because the current is unpredictable. There was a couple diving...

I read your recaps of being on Blackbeards but I don't recall if you were on Morning Star or Pirates Lady. Someone said that Pirates Lady is set up a little better. My husband is 59 and 6' tall and he was complaining about the setup as well. Seriously, when the only "stable" thing you have to...

I posted my review in Underwater Photography but thought I'd put the link to it here for anyone who might not wander over there - hope that's ok. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/underwater-photography/450230-watershot-iphone-4-case-review.html#post6686946

I used my new Watershot housing with my iphone 4 on our recent trip to the Exumas on Blackbeard. With the exception of some glitchy software issues I really like this thing a lot. My still photos were hit or miss but I think that's more due to operator error. The videos are really good...

Ok, I'll admit it up front - I'm a sissy - I like to look "presentable" on occasion - I like a little bit of privacy. Got that out of the way ... Last week we were on the Morning Star. Our captain was Brandon, cook was Aileen, dive master was Christy, other crew were Carliss, Tim and Wade...

If you're sailing tomorrow with Blackbeard's it's probably too late to give you advice - but this might come in handy if you're sailing on the 30th (assuming the weather doesn't change dramatically). I took rain gear (like they recommended) and was really glad that I did. Someone told me I...

We just got off Morning Star this morning and had a chilly week in and out of the water. Remember the Dramamine too! A 7mm wouldn't hurt. Have fun!

Just a note on getting a good snorkel. I hated snorkeling when I went on vacation before I started diving - and it was because of the snorkel. The snorkels they use on the boats are inexpensive (no, cheap) and when a swell or a wave goes over the top of the snorkel you run the risk of inhaling...

OMG! I thought I was the only one to use spreadsheets that way! Please share the info you find. None of us really fit the stock sizing charts. In order for the suits to fit me properly AROUND I have to deal with the torso that is longer than me. ;)

I thought it was about MAKING MONEY - and that making the customer happy was the quickest way to make money! What was I thinking? Let's meet at that pub though! :)

This is NOT the capitalism I know and love at work! The problem is that there is nobody in the market to offer what women WANT. I wonder how much of the market consists of women versus men? Women outnumber men in the United States - and you can see that advertisers understand this when you...

Which suit do you have? I just bought a 3mm Henderson Thermoprene yesterday and the zipper goes only to the waist. My 5mm Henderson Aquasilk also zips only to the waist. I'm wondering if you have men's wetsuits and don't know it? When you hold them up do they have the hour-glass shape to...

Thanks for the customization idea but I really think that the zippers shouldn't have to be a custom job. I can't imagine why that issue hasn't been addressed - other than the fact that we buy what is offered because we have no choice, so they see no need for factory modifications.

Can we get a wetsuit manufacturing company to read these posts?! I'm buying a new wetsuit tomorrow and would happily pay more for a suit with a zipper that goes down to the top of my hips and would accommodate the girls!!

I just tried on my Henderson 5mm and it stops at the waist ... and it appears to have shrunken over the winter ... :(

I keep watching for someone to make a wetsuit with a zipper that goes down to the hips - or at least halfway between the waist and the hips. Guys may not understand why this is a problem so I'll try to explain why *I* am frustrated about this. Women's hips are bigger than their waistline -...

My husband just turned 59 and I'm 52 and we are both quite jealous of anyone who comes back to the boat with tons of air. There was a couple in Grand Cayman that did this every dive - and their advice was the same as yours - "slow down and look at the small things". That was the first time it...
