These are from my first outing with my new Olympus EMP-1, Sept 14-21.

I dive with a CDX-5 first stage. I had a blowout of something internal to the first stage when I turned on the air to the regulator. It started with a bang and a rush of air sound similar to a tank o ring failure. In this case, the air leak was from inside the housing, not from the plugs or...

When I travel to dive, I like to dive a lot. We made our second trip to Coz last April and once again came away with the feeling that the cost per dive was just too high. The diving is good and the resorts are nice, but two boat dives is just not enough. We did a night and wreck dive, but...

I have two Inon ULC-165AD Close Up Lens. These are stackable for increased magnification. I also have adapter rings to use the AD lens with either 67mm or 52mm threads. I am selling them because I just received a lens for my housing that does not require the adaptors. I would like to sell...

Can anyone tell me the number of baths in the two bedroom units please. Den Lamen - Bonaire

Spent five days at Scuba Club last week with my son and daughter-in-law. Great service from the crews and divemasters. The seas were lumpy and I was happy to be on the larger boat. The meals were good, we usually ate the daily specials. The rooms we stayed in were large and clean. We managed...

I got the chance to try my new macro lens last week on Bonaire. It was harder than I expected. Getting close enough to focus scared a lot of subjects. Here are some that turned out OK.

I took this in about 10 feet of water off Bonaire. Can anyone help with an ID?

Saw my first Manta Ray today. They are cruising the south coast of Bonaire.

I had a double hip replacement about 8 years ago. After completing my Physical Therapy, I was told to avoid undue stress for 6 mos. What does you Doc say? As far as BHB, have a buddy drag your gear into shallow water and don it there. Less stress than walking. I am well past the initial...

My son and new daughter-in-law leave tomorrow for Grand Cayman. They are concerned about the weather forecast which calls for thunderstorms most of the next week. Is there a lot of bad weather in the picture of will this be something that builds up in the late PM and is of short duration like...

This guy hides under a wreck just off Capt Don's on Bonaire. I have lots of good closeups of his head, but this is the best I have that shows the full body. Looks like a grouper, but I can't find anything with this spot pattern. Can anyone help?

My oldest son and I are making our second trip to Bonaire on March 4th. We are staying at Capt Don's Habitat this time. Any other SBers going?

I just purchases a used XZ-1 with two S&S YS-01 strobes. The original owner said he was able to get both strobes to fire using one fiber optic cable. I have not been able to figure it out. Can someone help me with recommendations on settings for both the strobes and the camera? Please! I am...
