mike, how much time does it take to maintain this setup?

I was pretty shocked. I looked up and went hmmm then took some shots. It looks like the tropics. I almost put on my macro before leaving the house with all the talk of rough seas and bad conditions. I'm glad I was lazy. Where the surge was beating against the pinnacles it was kinda stirred...

I know!!

that is one of the coolest things i have seen in a loooong time!

Conditions this weekend were great. I did two boat dives on the Sanctuary (my last for this year) and had some fun testing out a new housing for the 5DmkII. After digesting the meatzilla from Giannis I was in no condition to post photos. I finally got to them this evening. Here are a few...

Hmm. The elastic properties of compressed springs must deteriorate over time even without changing the load. Magazine springs are much more resistive than the flimsy springs seen above. It would be an interesting experiment to test the elastic properties of a valve spring vs. a magazine...

I change out my springs every year or so for routine maintenance since the springs stay compressed and lose resistance over time. I always notice a significant increase in the pressure when i put on a new spring. On my equipment I had one spring on a SMB that was toast (rusted very bad) my...

I'll be on the Sancturary sunday morning. maybe we could all meet up for lunch after the morning dives?

heh..

Yeah, I have one of those and the H's on the straps are over the top. I'll have to re-web mine as well. I hate that scuba manufacturers make you look like a nascar driver with all the logos. I need to get a bunch of wonder bread/skoal/cialis logos and plaster a drysuit with them.

I think post #1 belongs to you so its your deal :D. I can attend, no preferences just let me know where to go.

Michelle, did you like the backplate? here are pics for the dives on sat. Sat Dive photos -in not so great vis

There's been two threads, one on Facebook one here. So there is a small-ish group meeting up tomorrow: Mike Miller, Sarah + Mark?, Michelle,Paula, Me, and my two non-scubaboard friends Allan and his wife Josie. Not everyone is getting in the water early, I think Sarah and I will be...

Anyone diving this sat 10-17? Its been a couple of weeks since I've done a 'real' dive and would like to head out on a boat or shore. Anyone heading to Monterey? The storm should have passed and -fingers crossed- I hope the conditions are good.

what a great name. I've never dove that location.

I'm not familiar with that camera, but if you can shoot in raw you can white balance and color correct in post processing.

Extra weights... and by extra I mean not 2lbs but a good amount extra ~5lbs. The bottom is pretty much barren, but watch out for urchins when moving around. Take a back up light, fresh batteries for strobes etc. I ran my strobe batteries dry on the dive since it was the third that day and I...

Fantastic photos! There's always something or someone to measure yourself by, and I strive to make my shots as good as yours. Great pics!

Thanks i'll try that.
