How is the weather tracking? Water temps? Vis? What kind of suit are you wearing? I'll be there in two weeks. March 15-18. Spouse doesn't dive looking at dive boats which go to places a snorkeling person can enjoy as well. Thanks to all the people who responded to my earlier general...

Planning a trip to Maui & Hawaii March 2020. Looking for advice on dive sites and dive ops.

Just saw this post in another forum and thought of all you TG 5&6 users (and abusers) out there: Olympus TG-5 and TG-6 Underwater Settings

Word came today (May 21, 2018) that Bob Gadbois, one of our longest serving and most active members of the Underwater Archaeology Society of Chicago, died this morning of cancer. He has been a remarkable resource not just for the UASC, but to the many diving organizations he has been part of in...

I bought a PT-EP12 housing, then discovered the lens port is designed for the 14-42mm ƒ3.5 EZ lens. The port is too short for either my 14-42mm ƒ3.5 II lens or my new 30mm macro. I don't think the pancake style EZ lens would be any sort of improvement over my existing 14-42mm Mk. II lens...

From the UASC board: On 01/05/2017 Bud Brain, a Chicago area diving legend, passed away at the age of 94. Many of us knew Bud, but for those that do not, let's just say that he was one of the pioneers of local diving. He caught the diving bug early and soon became a PADI diving instructor...

Nikon WP-N1 Waterproof Housing for Nikon 1 J1 / J2 Digital 3689 Don't know if it's a typo.

I was just google earthing (verb?) Bonaire and noticed there was what appears to be a street grid submerged in the evaporating pond opposite Red Slave. Is this an old townsite, fort or salt works? My impression was that the Rincon was located for defense purposes as well as to catch the cooler...

What is the video format newer Oly cameras shoot? Also is there a preferred Mac program to view them with? I can't seem to find video on my memory cards. With Nikon video was just in the folder as an avi along with the jpegs and Raw images

I got sick and tired of trying to thread a 67mm wet mount lens onto my housing underwater. So I got a wet mount dome. Regarding wet mount Dome lenses. When you physically look through your wet mount dome lens do you see wavy distortion, like through a bad windshield, or just the circular...

Any way to cure central fogging in a wide angle wet mount lens? So far this has been a cold water issue (41-50 F). Would storing it in a very dry environment help? Maybe warming it, then placing it in a dry environment, packed in moisture munchers? Thoughts?

Is there a dome port available for Ikelite's P-6000 housing? I could do some machining with a lathe to make something fit, just pondering the options. Also, my understanding of the dome ports is that relative positioning of the convergence point of the dome optic to the front of the lens...

Do any other housing manufactures' lens ports fit Oly E series underwater housings? I am thinking of getting the Oly housing for an E-520, but want to consider a dome for the 11-17mm lens.

I can manage the week down there, but the economy has just killed any LDS trips, at least around Chicago. This would be trip # 7. Mostly interested in shore diving, photography and an east side trip or two.

Would you consider the installation of a DR-RG1226BLK cold water conversion kit on a RG1208 1st stage regulator to be something a mechanically competent owner could do?

Ok sportsfans, here's a DIY project to transplant the earcups from a Pro-Ear mask to the mask of your choice. Problem 1: The Pro-Ear mask is a low volume mask with a limited field of view. Problem 2: You already have a mask you really like, perhaps a prescription mask, but...
