A couple of years ago, I had visited Austria for a diving trip the first time. I was really impressed! So I had to return for a second trip in August last year for some mountain lake diving. Water temperature is very low (around mid 40s) but the visability is cristal clear. The lake is called...

Hi guys, I just want to share some pics from my vacation to the Maldives last year. Vis was very bad so I couldn't take as much pictures as I would have liked. I used my Olympus OMD EM-5 with a Nauticam housing with either a 8mm FE or a 12mm lens and a single Inon Z240 strobe. Cheers

I am going to visit Mexico in a couple of weeks to finally start my cave diver training :D I am wondering if I should go with my dry suit or take a wet suit. I read mixed opinions on that regarding cave diving in Mexico. What would you recommend and why? Thank you, cheers!

Hi there, I just want to share my excitement about my new setup with you. I previously used a P&S camera (a Panasonic Lumix LX3) in auto mode with no strobe and recently upgraded to an Olympus OM-D w/ Nauticam housing and a single Inon S-2000 external strobe. I did my first six dives last week...

Hi! I just received my OM-D and the Nauticam housing has already been ordered :cool2: Anyways, I wonder if anyone tried the video capabilities already underwater? If so, what AF settings and alike would you recommend? Thanks!

Hi! I plan to upgrade my underwater photography kit from a Panasonic LX3 to an OM-D setup (Nauticam housing). I pretty much decided on the Panaonic 8mm Fisheye with the Nauticam dome but I am unsure what to buy additionally. I see two different options at the moment which are about the same...

At the moment I am in the business of buying my first can light as I want to progress to cave diving maybe within the next 2 years. I totally understand that communication is vital in caves and that your light source is your primary communication device. Hence I see that cave divers look for a...

Hi! I am looking for a simple Storage Pack (for my SMB) that fits my Dive Rite SS BP. Does anyone know if any of the products from Halcyon, OMS, Dir Zone etc. will fit the holes on the Dive Rite plate? Thanks!

:D When I posted some first pics of this dive location sometimes last year, someone commented that it looked like Yoda's swamp from Star Wars... and I tend to like this as it seems to be true somehow ;) Anyways, this is one of my favourite quarry locations here in Germany. It has two...

I just returned from a three day trip to Austria on which we did some very awesome dives! We dived at lake "Samaranger See" (1000m / 3300ft altitude) which is famous for its great viz but also for its low temperatures (8C / 46F). I never did any mountain lake diving before and I was seriously...

Hi! I've been diving a Dive Rite hog harness with an Oxycheq wing for about a year now and like the setup alot (singles setup). The webbing of the harness is extremely stiff, though. This makes precise adjustments of the shoulder straps and the d-rings relatively difficult. As I switch...

Hi! When I started diving a couple of years ago, I brought a Seaquest/Aqualung ProQD BCD... It was (and is) ok but I never felt really happy with it. I always wanted a BP/W but it is not easy to find a competent dealer here in Germany and if you do, prices are usually way to high... I only...

Hi everyone! After four years of diving a jacket style BCD (Seaquest ProQD) I really want to try a BP/W. :cool2: I do cold water diving but also travel to warmer location and I plan to use my new rig in either location. Generally, the prices for usually so called "technical equipment" like a...
