I am trying to find the contact info for a dive shop in SE Connecticut or Rhode Island on the world's worst internet. My girlfriend and I are going back to visit family, but we will have our dive gear with us from another stop on the same trip. It would be awesome to get a dive or two in...

Shot all over from the Florida Keys to a quaint hotel pool in Kosrae and especially in my own backyard of Kona, this past year has left me with a lot of random video clips that each bring back a vivid memory for me. I'm usually much more of a still photographer, so all comments on videography...

Aloha Ohana- If you are in Hawaii the weekend of May 20-23rd and would like a shot at some sweet prizes, you might consider entering the Kona Underwater Shootout. Head over to the Underwater Photography->Competitions forum at Scubaboard to learn more. Cheers!

Aloha Friends! Below you will find a flyer for the first annual Kona Underwater Shootout taking place between May 20-23rd. The plan is for everyone to start at the parking lot of Kona Honu Divers in Kona, HI on Friday the 20th where we will issue a welcoming statement and say, "Go!" From...

For the ultimate critter experts I have a selection of photos taken while blackwater diving. They include various types of larval fishes, squid and other invertebrates that have been identified by leading experts in the field. I'll post a photo and in a few days try to remember to repost...

I bought a DSLR housing (for Canon T1i) last July and have used it on a nearly daily basis since. I inspect and maintain the main o-ring and the port o-ring before every use, but lately I've been noticing a few drops of saltwater inside the housing. I suspect it may be coming from some of the...

You folks enjoyed posting your big animal shots a few weeks ago, so why not brag a little more with some of your favorite macro pics. Show 'em!

I bought a Geo 2 about a year and a half ago and have nothing but nice things to say about it. However, my rough day-to-day usage seems to have taken its toll on two key parts. The band seems to be cracking in a concerning way. Is there any way that I can buy a new band and replace it myself...

I'm bored of working on my thesis, so why don't we all help me procrastinate by posting your favorite shot of some kind of charismatic megafauna? I'll start with a Kona coastal manta (Manta alfredi) flipping through a school of copepods taken on the world famous Kona manta night dive.

I was recently shooting blue sharks off Rhode Island with some seasoned pros (note: I am not seasoned nor a pro) who were damning the large sensors of their video setups. This flew in the face of everything I had ever learned, but they held firm. I believe their argument was that they got less...

I have been experiencing some elbow pain that I believe is associated with my T1i/Ikelite underwater camera system which is pretty heavy both in and out of the water. Someone on another forum suggested that attaching floats to make the camera more buoyant would help with these aches. I'd love...

Aloha- I'll be flying home to see family in the southeastern Connecticut area on the 28th and leaving the 31st. If anyone is down for a shore dive, I would love to poke around and see what critters we can find. In afterthought, does anyone know where I can reliably find things like dogfish or...

I have a solid wide angle and have managed some decent standard range shots, but I keep struggling with small stuff and believe that a dedicated macro lens may be the answer. I currently shoot with a Ti and when aiming small I use the kit 18-55mm with a +1 or +2 close-up lens attachment. The...

I found a camera at Sea Cave on Oahu. If you or someone you know lost a camera nearby, message me with the make and model and we can arrange a pickup.

When I try to search for my recent post by clicking on my name and then clicking on "view recent posts," the results I get don't update when I post new posts and aren't always consistent as to when they stopped updating. It may be a glitch.

I just got back from Lanai Lookout and it was flat flat FLAT! The whale song was unavoidably loud and as we drove home, Hanauma Bay and surrounding waters looked like a swimming pool. When was the last time you looked toward Molokai and didn't see whitecaps? If the conditions aren't enough to...

My dive lights suck. One takes 8 D cell batteries and while it has the power of the sun, its weight and bulk prohibit carrying it around unless I really need it, and even then I opt for something else. That something else is the right size to fit in a BC pocket, but produces an...

We all love good pics, well 'tis the season for a little retrospective sharing. Show 'em!

Aloha- I will be in the Bahamas in late April for a wedding. Weddings bore me. I'm hoping slink out of the ceremony/reception and stay a bit late and get in some of this diving I've heard so much about. I know it helps to be specific, so I'm interested in shark dives (especially Tiger...

As student pursuing his Master of Science degree after achieving a bachelor of science in Biology, I have read an average of 1 scientific journal article per day for the past four-ish years. A large percentage of these have been on the hot-button environmental issues (global warming, habitat...
