    S90 Newbie

    I recently purchased a refurbished S90 and the WP- DC35 housing to replace my Canon SD700IS.I realize all the advantages of having RAW capability and the ability to adjust the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc. Having said that, I was surprised to find out that the shutter lag and write time to...

    Question about RAW

    When shooting in RAW mode, aside from being able to adjust the white balance, what other advantages/benefits are there compared to post processing a jpeg photo with photoshop? Also, what is the difference between a RAW file and a DNG file, any reason to use one over the other? Thanks

    Fiber Optic Cord Question

    I am thinking about purchasing the Sea and Sea YS 02. Why is the Sea and Sea Fiber Optic L Type cord so much more expensive that the 10 Bar? Other than the L shape plugs, does it offer any additional benefit? I don't want to build/make my own cable, I just want to purchase one that will work...

    Zeagle Stiletto

    I finally had a chance to try out my new Stiletto which replaced my Concept II Pro which I sold because I was looking for a BC that was lighter and easier to pack for warm water diving trips. I have to say that it performed great! It was just as comfortable and stable as the Concept II however...

    Diving with Shaka Divers

    I just returned from a 5 day trip to Maui and had 2 great days of diving with Doug of Shaka Divers at Makena Landing, 5 Caves and Ulua Beach. We met at Makena Landing and as we were gearing up I got to meet Kidspot as he was getting ready to try out his new scooter. (I hope the scooter worked...

    Trip Report Curacao May 20-May 26

    We left Los Angeles on May 20 on AA to Miami. The flight was on time and when we arrived in Miami we found the gate for the flight to Curacao and waited about 30 minutes when I noticed the monitor changed from Curacao to Tampa. I approached the gate agent and asked if there was a gate change and...

    Trip Report Bonaire May 26-June 1

    We flew Divi Divi Air and the agent at the check in counter was very helpful. He even dialed our hotel in Bonaire so we could inform them of our arrival time. The plane was a 10 seater and I sat in the copilot's seat, it was fantastic! Our bags arrived and we found our shuttle to Harbour...

    Maui Shore Diving with Shaka Divers

    Shore Diving in Maui with Shaka Divers October 14 & 15, 2005 I took a short (5 night) trip to Maui and decided to do a few shore dives. This was my 6th trip to Maui and I prefer to do beach/shore dives since I don’t care for the small, cramped boat diving that is available. I tried Ed...

    Digital Lens Dock Mounting

    I recently received my DLD from www.gbundersea.com and since I do not have a strobe arm, Greg was kind enough to research and recommend a mounting location on my Ultralight handle www.ulcs.com using 316 SS bolts, lock washers and washers. Here are the photos

    A Sea & Sea MX10/YS40A to an Oly 5050/PT015

    I recently returned from a trip to Grand Cayman and Little Cayman ( a separate trip report will follow) and got a chance to try out my Oly 5050 in the PT015 housing. After reading the boards here and on other internet sites, I thought I had a pretty good handle on settings to use with just the...

    New housing, to remove or not to remove...

    the O-ring(s), that is the question. I was thinking, since the housing has been sitting with the newly installed o-ring in the store since it's manufacture date (could be many months), should I leave them in or remove them until I am ready to go diving? Since the o-ring is clean and already...

    Compact Flash Card Reliability

    Now that I ordered my Oly 5050, I have read the sites that talk about CF cards and various speed ratings. That is not an issue for me but reliability is. I just read this article at http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/cf.htm. Interesting to say the least. So have any of you lost photos/had corrupt...

    Housing Question Oly 5050

    I was looking at the Ikelite website and they mention " Every camera function is accessible. Special "stay depressed when desired" controls simplify the difficulty of pushing buttons, especially two at a time, while trying to turn a dial and watch the monitor all at the same time." for the 5050...
