Hi, Just wanted to say THANKS to all of you for this interesting info replying to my question! I am always amazed at the friendly and helpful responses on the Scubaboard forums - but then we divers are the nicest people, right? :-) Happy picture taking! Tricia:jester:

Hello, I'm headed off on my second dive trip taking pictures with my Olympus 3040-Z and PT-005 housing. But I am considering taking along my lightweight laptop computer so that I can download pictures in the evening and really look at them (I don't find the small screen on the back of the...

James, Just a thought, but have you considered dive insurance for your camera? I just renewed my policy with D.E.P.P. The total was about $54 for a year and it covers all my equipment for theft AND my Oly 3040-Z for flooding. Unfortunately, it does NOT cover my laptop computer which I...

Hi Josep, Nice photos! I hope I can do as well when I am there. A "technical" question for you: I'll be going to Cadaques in late August. Will I need a full wetsuit? And a hood? Also - I have full foot fins - will they be OK there or will I need boots and strap-on fins? Thanks...

Hi, I was in the same spot last summer when I decided to buy a new camera. I got an Olympus 3040Zoom with an underwater housing and used it at Turks & Caicos. I am very pleased with the result - digital is really now the way to go. (Although I have to confess that my photos are nowhere as...

Hi Caymaniac, did you go with Fifi of West Caicos Diving Adventures? They are great! I first dove T&C in 1991 and then return in August 2001. What a difference. When I first dove, Grace Bay was fabulous, like jumping into an acquarium. Now it's been over-developed and there's not much to...

Hi everybody, I know lots of people like those scopamine patches, but they are horrible for some people. One time, I passed out after wearing one - for some people they are just too strong. (I even cut one in half and stuck it on, thinking it would reduce the level of medicine, but that...

Hi Louie, In July 2000, I went to Sharm by myself to do my OW course with Ocean Divers (a UK company). My mother was sure that as a "red-headed female travelling alone in an Arab country", I would be spirited away to some sex-slave bazaar! Absolutely nothing happened. Sharm is very touristy...

Dear Josep, Thanks for the info - I checked your website and the photos are great! (I am a novice underwater digital photographer, so these things are always inspiring.) I myself am headed to Cadaques (near Figueras) in late summer. Please let me know if you have any recommendations...

Dear Burt, You had asked about posting pictures. No need to set up a webpage. Just go to "ofoto.com" and sign up. They let you upload your pictures into "photo albums" and then you can send the link to whomever you want. I've used it for both dive pics and above ground pics. All my friends...

I'm thinking of heading to Cuba in June to dive off the north coast at Veradero. Does anyone know how the diving is there or can recommend any good dive operators?
