I have never done any underwater photography before and I just purchased a Cannon S90 with a Cannon housing. I will be headed to the upper channel islands next week with this camera. Any advice on a crash course in underwater photography with an S90? So far my camera of choice has been the one...

Is there are kit to convert a non-adjustable 212 to adjustable? What is the part number and price? I am debating whether or not to get a matched set of adjustable 212's for my primary and secondary or save $85 in the short-term by getting a non-adjustable secondary for now.

After much searching, I just ordered my DiveRite LED Lux from Northeast. I was very nervous about this order as every other shop is out of stock on this item. Apparently Dive Rite is going to release a new version in a month for $100 more. I just called this morning to confirm my order and was...

I'll take it if we can work out a delivery by next Tuesday. PM Sent

Thanks again everyone for the helpful advice. I really appreciate the different perspectives.

Thanks again everyone for the helpful advice, especially the info about surface swimming with kelp. Knowing is half the battle.

This accurately describes every dive I have been on so far. My buddy and I are on our own. Part of my time on the trip will be for my AOW certification dives with an instructor. Great advice. Thank you.

Not a problem Nick. I appreciate the feedback. The problem may indeed be as simple as you say. Frankly, being 5'3" 120lbs I am such a difficult fit for most stuff that I tend to assume the gear isn't right before looking anywhere else. That's not to say Hollis has done something wrong. I like...

I managed to hook up with a dive shop in Boise that has half the boat reserved and a few slots open. It's lobster season and every boat is PACKED this year. I looked at the Peace. Definitely seems like a great boat bu their schedule and my schedule don't mesh. Maybe next time.

Probably not enough time between now and 10/12 to find a dry suit that fits and get certified though. Not without paying $$$ for individual instruction.

Thanks. I dive a bp/w and am still pretty new. I don't have a lot of places to hang crap and don't own much even if I did.

I know some of the divers are planning on some lobster hunting. The trip is not solely for hunting though.

Tobin of DSS has graciously agreed to let me into his shop and try out his backplates before I head out on my trip. I think I will hold off on the photo shoot until then.

How does the 2.1 differ from the 2.0?

Looks like I will be headed out on my first kelp dive with Truth Aquatics 10/12-10/16. This will be my first cold water, first CA, first live aboard, and first Truth Aquatics dive. I am looking any and all advice.

Thanks again Tobin. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions here and in email. If you are still willing I would love to stop by your place of business before I head out on my trip. I will email details. Sorry to be so twitchy about your products. New diver, new equipment...

Will do. Thanks again. I sure hope so. Pinnacle is one of the few companies that make suits in my size without assuming I am a girl. I have two skins and a 3mm from Pinnacle that I absolutely love.

Thank you! This is very encouraging. I found out there is a dive shop running a trip on the boat I was looking at and gave them a call. I was able to knock a few dollars off the trip cost, get to know the trip organizer a bit, and arrange for a discount on my AOW cert. All in all a very...

I am a small, 5'3", diver. I have an aluminum Hollis back plate which I like. I bought my plate shortly after they appeared online. I am looking to add a steel plate for cold weather diving. My only complaint with the Hollis aluminum plate is the size. As a diver of small stature the aluminum...
