    EPl-1... talk me out of or reassure...

    How long is your longest dive?

    60+1minute dive on a single AL80. Max depth 25m, mean 16m in clear calm warm waters of the Maldives. Why 60+1 instead of 61? Because the DM told me there were regulations banning dives exceeding 60min:eyebrow: (set by state or resort, don't remember which)

    USS Emmons and the Kamikaze plane

    For those of you interested in wrecks in Okinawa. Asahi.com carried a story about Chuck DeCesari and colleagues' effort on the determining who piloted the sunken plane found near the USS Emmons. Initially the plane was thought to be a Zero, but the engine block pointed to Ida (Ki-36). The...

    Miflex Regulator Hose

    Rick, how about fitting some o-rings on the Miflex to adjust the OD difference? Just an idea, but this may be less cumbersome?

    Saw my first Blue Ringed Octopus this weekend...

    Well, the resolution might not be as high as you wanted it to be, but the blue rings seem to flare out from the screen!

    Hollis F1...3rd gen material?

    Hi there. I bought a Hollis F1 this spring, and as rumored, they are nice to kick and negatively buoyant. They do feel like rubber to touch, but I'm not sure wether they are plastic mix or not. If no one is able to answer you here, you might like to try in the Hollis' specific thread...

    Apeks ATX100 question

    I have noticed the same thing happening with my Apeks regs. My 200's clearly concave, and the Tek3s are bulging. I guess it's time to get it serviced. (This time, I'm looking forward to getting instructed and doing it myself)

    EPL-1 Electronic Viewfinder

    Scott, since I don't own one (yet :D) I can only speculate that you're right. I wonder why the VF2 wasn't designed as a high eyepoint view finder.

    EPL-1 Electronic Viewfinder

    In Olympus's Japanese official page, a marine photographer Jun Shimizu is doing a sponsored review of PT-EP01. Here, he claims the electronic viewfinder VF2 is effective when manual focusing in macro, but you might have to shove the housing against your mask. Kaza

    Buddy Bailed on me

    Sorry if you've already asked, but have you contacted the dive shop where you rented your gear for either a) cancellation of the present rent, b) help find a dive buddy or c) ask for a DM to dive with you to and give advice on your nav and buoyancy?

    YS-110 Non Stop Firing

    Leak onto the circuit board could be the cause of your strobe's repetitive triggering. I think you should have it professionally (or more preferably, factory) serviced. Kaza
