Would the Canon S95's HDR function be of assistance? Does it capture all necessary images with a single click?

Hi Guys, I have a question that has to do with photographers but not with photography :-). How do you guys deal with OpenCircuit Bubbles? I won't go into CCR, so that's not a solution. Short of holding your breath (which i sometimes do to maintain depth and steadiness... shhh), any other...

In Brazil look at an island called "Fernando de Noronha". Cheers

I had the same problem. I ended up leaving the top strap loose, but it was a pain becuase people kept warning me that my cylinder was "falling"; other divers would even try to fix it for me DURING the dive. So what i did was purchase a pair of sex bolts to secure the wing to the transpac. I...

i Guys, I purchased a DiveRite 700 LED. Upon receiving it i thought it was, well, weak. Actually, it's not that it was weak - it's that the three LEDs are misaligned and you get three squares of light that look like a card player holding three square cards. So i thought it could be better...

Hi Guys, I purchased a DiveRite 700 LED. Upon receiving it i thought it was, well, weak. Actually, it's not that it was weak - it's that the three LEDs are misaligned and you get three squares of light. So i thought it could be better, but being relatively new to night diving I didn't really...

Atlantis Divers You should be able to see pictures of what Fernando de Noronha is all about - 100ft+ visibility, sharks on EVERY dive i've been to (16 over one week). This was over new year's last year. You can fly from Natal or REcife - the airline is :: TRIP Linhas Aéreas ::. I've...

Thanks! It does look much better than I had imagined. Trip report coming soon!!

I'm arriving there Wed (7/7) - should I not go? My plan was to dive Wed PM to Saturday PM, leaving Sunday. Do you reckon it'll be dangerous just to be there? Cheers, Andre

Hi Cam, While in Buzios I very much recommend you dive in neighboring city Arraial do Cabo (but keep your lodging in Buzios unless you're going there exclusively for the diving). It's a 45 minute drive in a windy road but totally worth the commute. You can do a two-tank boat dive there...

No, never tried anything but S80s. These suckers must be heavy - 1lb negative when EMPTY? I'lll post details when I'm back, but that's mid-July. Cheers!

Hi Guys, I have a DiveRite BC with a Travel Wing - 27lbs of lift. I usually dive with 12-14lbs of lead when using S80s. I'm going to travel to Cozumel where they offer LP120s as part of the "package". Do i have to be concerned with Lift? By removing some of the lead can I compensate for...

This is new and seems to be designed for your use-case: DiveRite TravelPac Harness Checkout the Diverite site under: products/catalog/backplates/t4000 Only 6lbs. I have the Transpac with a travel wing and I like it; this seems to be the "travel-version" of my kit. Cheers!

Thanks for all the tips. I have Nitrox cert and would take advantage of that in order to improve my bottom time. I'll also look into shore diving as a complement. Looks like it's more studying for me - and just watching the Holbox Whale Tour videos on Youtube makes me want to go :-). I'll...

Thanks for the tips. Since I'm tagging this onto a business trip, i was adopting the "this isn't vacation, it's just a long weekend" mentality. Thanks for calling it out - it'll probably make the week more enjoyable too. I usually don't want the schedule i'm proposing either; in a week in...

Hi Guys, I need your help. How many dives can I fit in 4.5 days? the only thing I have so far is air - A buddy and I land in Cancun at 10:45AM Wednesday. I leave Cancun at 8PM Sunday. This is what I'd like my schedule to look like: Wed: 11AM - 2PM - Get to Cozumel. 2PM - Nighttime...

I disagree. I didn't have enough silicone lubricant on my IkeLite box and it worked just fine while i was around 8 meters (25 ft?). As i dropped to 15m I saw the stream of water - first slight, then gushing, from the Dome Port O-Ring. By the time i was up it was half-way full of water. Cost...
