    Incident in Cebu - Sharing info (Diveassure)

    Hi, I would like to share my experience during my last trip to Cebu. I will try to make it short, and as conciese as possible. Before that, I want to split this post in two parts: Part 1 is the experience in Cebu getting the treatment done. Part 2 is the claim with Diveassure. Part 1: I'm...

    ADVICE: Does anyone have U/W experience with a Sony 100 VI??

    Hi David, Sorry I missed your message. Yes, I did use the RX100 MVI before (I just upgraded because I saw a good second hand opportunity and the Nauticam housing could be upgraded). I did not see any significant improvement in photo autofocus for macro stuff, as you normally use manual focus...

    Genesis DPV - New motor / price increase?

    Anyone has any updates aobut the specs of the Genesis 3.1? I see that Fathom Dive systems list it in their website, but the specs are the same as the 2.1 from Logic Dive Gear website.

    Weight Genesis 2.1 vs Piranha P2

    Thanks, that makes sense. Both DPV have similar weight ready to dive.

    Weight Genesis 2.1 vs Piranha P2

    Hi all, I see from both manufacturer specs that the weight of those dpv is around 15kg. I would like to confirm if that includes batteries...I guess yes for the Genesis, since are included with the dpv. How about the Piranha? regards jordi

    I know this camera can do better ... advice?

    The TG-6 has an option to choose the focus mode. Make sure you have selected the super macro focus mode and use a small focus light/snoot to light up the subject ONLY. The camera will be able to focus much easier on the highlighted subject... When you add a strobe or two, you still keep the...

    Dilemmas with upgrading my camera system

    Personally, I would get rid of the Gopro (is an old model and I believe the image quality of the TG6 for video will still match what you get today) and get the wide angle dome. There are several options available, depending on your budged. I would get a pair of strobes (the small Inon will do)...

    Apeks Tech Shorts Long Term Review

    I have both: First bought the Apeks and used for around a year but were too big. No issues so far, I had around 50 dives with them and held very well. Since I live in Hong Kong I had the chance to buy the Akuana shorts for half of the price you posted (around 60EUR). So I got them with the...

    RX100VII or A6400?

    I use the smallest aperture, I think is F11. But still the area in focus is really small.

    RX100VII or A6400?

    Welcome @AlMitch TBH, no difference in focus performance between the M6 or M7 for super-macro. Things I noticed is better auto-focus for wide angle and lower ISO (M7 can use 64 instead of 80). Video should be also better, but I don't shoot video most of the times.

    RX100VII or A6400?

    Hello @AlMitch I'm using mostly the Nauticam CMC-2 wet lens (I had the SMC-1 and CMC-1 but I find the CMC-2 the easiest). Basically, you have to position the camera at 8cm from the subject and stay there. You have around 1cm you can move close or far, but not more than that. To make it...

    RX100VII or A6400?

    One cheap extra upgrade to your current setup is to sell the camera and get the TG6. Has a big improvement in terms of usability for macro stuff as you can now focus close to the subject without using microscope mode. The TG6 will fit in your current housing. I personally own an RX100 M7 and I...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    Well, the boot issue ended in the most reasonable way I think, as shipping the suit back to UK from Hong Kong and wait the fix and ship back would have been a PITA... So basically they refunded the rock boots and I can keep them. Not ideal, but my main reason to order the neoprene socks was to...
