    Vignetting

    Hello, Got an issue on my last scuba trip. One would usually get rid of normal vigneting by zooming a little. In my case, I got vigneting while zooming, and only on the top and bottom left side of the image. Just like if the lens was ''offset''. I get the same unwanted effect with the...

    where to go in Cuba

    Don't know about the bullshark season in Santa Lucia. However, if you are considering Jardines de la Reina but don't want to spend a whole week in a LOB, your closest option is Cayo Largo. Give this a look.

    where to go in Cuba

    Jibacoa is on the north shore. In January, I wouldn't recommend any of the North Shore of Cuba. Atlantic can be frisky and quite rough. Furthermore, weather can be surprizingly low if you get a North wind. I would rather recommend Cayo Largo, on the South side. On top of warmer weather...

    Ice diving in a wetsuit... crazy?

    Dear oreo.. I did Flintkote last August and July for Deep and Night certifications. Water temp went as low as 2.7 C. In wet suit. It's cold but for a short while, it's feasible.

    Divemaster for a fee?

    I've been DMing near Montréal for the last 2 years. The scuba shop I work with doesn't pay for assisting with pool session or certification. Some instructors share their income, some don't. After a while, I knew who I wanted to work with... However, the shop covers insurance and PADI fees...

    Holguin - Playa pesquero

    Guides are still as friendly as before. Couple of spanish words here and there plus some t-shirts and beers and you get friends for life. However, boats were overcrowded with couple of other dive shops closed... It was not as much fun as previous years. Unfortunatly, I won't go back there...

    Holguin - Playa pesquero

    It may be more difficult to reach Maria La Gorda (Big Mary)... As far as I am concerned, Cayo Largo should also be considered as one of the best diving destination in Cuba.

    Holguin - Playa pesquero

    Dive shop do not accept Visa. You have to pay with Cuban currency that you can get with your Visa card at the hotel. However, your bank will apply charges as it is considered a cash withdrawl on a credit card. You may also prefer to bring more canadian $ to avoid those charges.

    Holguin - Playa pesquero

    I usually bring my gear but rentals are recent. They had to buy all new equipment 2 years ago after a hurricane passed through... No need to contact anyone. The dive shop is located at the end of the beach, on the East side (right side when locking at the sea) Don't know about the bull...

    Question for fellow Canadians flying Air Canada to Caribbean

    D4mn... They don't include sport equipment anymore! One more reason to deal with Transat, Canjet or Sunwing... Those three also include meal and wine. Air Canada no longer deserve my business!
