On the WB screen I have highlighted the option for blue water >25 ft. Is this what you all would choose while also having chosen external light (because I am using an external light)? My pictures have been too blue and I know I need to make some adjustments. Thanks in advance.

If this inserted correctly you should see my picture of the screen options for white balance on my DC1400. I have highlighted the option for blue water >25 ft. Is this what you all would choose while also having chosen external light (because I am using an external light)? Thanks in advance.

I like to watch a couple of episodes of shark week each year just to see the different varieties so if I run into something other than a nurse shark I might know what it was. I'm not a fan of shark dives as I suspect they train sharks where to find humans dishing out food and I don't want to...

Ok. No jewelry for me. I'll save it for the evenings out with my dive buddy. :D

I recently went on a girls dive trip to Cozumel and I saw lots of jewelry during dives. One woman wore several rings - another wore dangly earrings - I was wearing a necklace that is completely hidden under my wetsuit, and also my wedding band. I was thinking about wearing a pair of silver...

I dive with the Oceanic HUD and love the AI - and also dive with a Cobra as my backup. My husband used the HUD until it refused to sync repeatedly and switched to a different AI computer (Mares). We ALWAYS take a console SPG with us in case one of our AI's decided to die on us (both of us have...

Fold your wetsuit down so that when you get the legs on the rest of it is folded down your legs - then roll it up the rest of the way. If that doesn't help, I've used creme rinse (hair conditioner) to get my 8/7 on. Just slather that stuff inside the suit and on your skin - but try to get your...

True! I actually saw Arnold Schwarzennegger (sp?) up close once - I was with my kids at the Hyannis Sheraton (Cape Cod). He was with his then-wife, Maria Shriver. My kids and I basically stalked them out to their car (I was totally starstruck) and he turned to the kids, waved and said "Hi...

Just for fun, who is the most famous person you have been diving with? We found ourselves on a boat with Judge Alex once in Key Largo. Ok, so he's not a movie star or rock persona, but he's on tv and he was a nice guy (he and his son seemed to be good divers). That's my best story. I keep hoping...

I just bought a pair of Seawing Novas in a size small and they measure 22", end to end so will fit in my carry-on with no problem. My husband is thinking about getting a pair but we can't find the length of a large or xl anywhere. Can you please share that information here? Thanks!

I'm specifically wondering about the front-zip because it looks like it would be easier for us women to pull on over our hips. I've got Henderson wetsuits and love them - but that front-zip option looks great!

I'm so glad to see that someone has finally decided to make a front zip Henderson. Of course I have all the wetsuits I really "need", but I'm wondering if anyone has gotten one and if you have, what do you think of it? Thanks!

I'll second the comment about it being helpful to be a petite female. I can pack a 3 mil, a Zuma or my Zena BC and all the rest, including camera and flash - and clothes, etc., in a carry-on and a backpack. I don't like having to do it, but it is possible. But my husband is 6 feet tall and that...

Gosh, I almost hate to say this, but I think that a large percentage of divers are beyond the age that "sexism" is such an issue. Ok, I'll speak only for myself so that nobody gets their knickers in a bunch. I am 54 years old and have been diving for 5 years, have logged 120+ dives, been diving...

Well, now I'll have it installed correctly and will avoid any future mishaps. I wonder what other operator errors are lurking out there because I haven't read all of my manuals ... like that whistle ... or my new lavacore socks ... hmmm. All kidding aside, I was thrilled that my buddy, the...

Just got back from a dive trip and wanted to report on my oddball incident with my Zena (which I LOVE). I was doing a night dive, upside down to take a picture when I felt my buddy (husband) grab my BC. I thought "aw, how nice of him to help with a little stabilization!" followed by "WTF - let...

I don't know where I got this information - or how old it is or if it was EVER correct - but I always thought that we were supposed to have all of our batteries out of our devices while in flight. I don't suppose we need to worry about lights accidentally turning on because they're not...

The OP lives in Marathon so diving doesn't necessarily have to be expensive - as opposed to paying insurance premiums that can be exorbitantly expensive. Purchasing DAN for the whole family was a great decision. My husband has tinnitus in both ears - one worse than the other - from his...

I'm liking the surf-fur for walking my dog in the winter! Add galoshes and I'm in good shape! The dog must go out when it's raining, snowing or sleeting - and that seems to be when he has the most fun!
