    PERDIX or PERDIX AI?

    Unless I win a serious jackpot or find that uncle who was last seen in Hamburg boarding a boat for South America many yrs ago, I am not going to dive CC in the next few years. :-) Also, 130m rating is also way more than enough for my diving needs. (BTW, it is interesting that the differences in...

    Lost on Planet Deepblu: how to get divelogs from Cosmiq+ to Mac?

    I used a Deepblu Cosmiq on a couple of dives as a bottom timer. Everything was fine underwater, cannot complain. (The only detail is that during practising deco, i could not find any timer showing seconds, I had to go by minutes, but after all, this is a rec diving equipment.) When I tried to...

    Canister - or not?

    For my tec diving, I want to buy a primary light. I dive both cold and tropical waters, and no caves. I am big fan of LEDs, so it will probably be some LED light, the technology is already mature enough. The remaining question is whether I should buy a canister light or a light w/o canister...

    Anybody used carbon fins from Dive System?

    Hi everybody, in a diveshop i found a pair of these Italian fins made from carbon fiber. The fact that they weigh mere 300+ grams really grabbed my attention - my jet fins weigh more than 10 times more ... and the blades even felt quite rigid when being bent - i tried to compare them against...

    "SUUNTO dive&decompression tables" ?

    On a recent dive, my Suunto D4 (in the most conservative setting) mandated 15' deco stop for me, while according to my buddy's computer he was OK to go w/o any deco stop. No problem with that - algorithms vary among computers, and u can even set your comp to more or less aggressive dive profiles...

    Problems w DSLR not autofocusing under low vis

    Maybe i m doing something wrong and i'd be very grateful if somebody points me to the right path. But i hv found autofocus on DSLR (in my case 7D with EF-S 10-22mm) to be real menace. Once it becomes dark (depth or night or low vis), when i press the shutter, typically this happens: camera...

    Is decent wide angle possible with G12 or must go DSLR?

    I m rephrasing my previous question about housings for G12. Apart from depth rating, the major concern for me is that I would like to gain a decent UW wide-angle capability for my G12. I wonder if it is even possible with DC + some wet lens. If yes, which one can u recommend (preferably...

    Housing for G12 - rated for more than 50M (160ft)

    Hi, after having used G10+original Canon housing for more than 2 yrs, i decided to move up in the food chain. :-) What i want: 1) depth rating 50+M (Canon housing stopped working at 46m.. :-) - i do not plan going much deeper than that, but it is always good to hv little buffer. 2)...

    Addtion to Fiji trip: Vanuatu or Tonga?

    We are going to Fiji beginning NOVEMBER and we are thinking of incorporating one more nearby place, either Vanuatu, or Tonga, and spend some 4-5 more days there. Tonga has whales, Vanuatu has wrecks.. from diving point of view it seems both should be great. Logistically it seems the flights to...

    English manual for Z240 Type 4 wanted

    Hi, usual problem, i bought the strobe during trip to Japan, and found out they do not have english manual... and i guess a manual is a MUST to ride this beast of a strobe. :-) The Inon America link mentioned on this forum before does not work (as Inon America themselves...) But i'm sure the pdf...

    New strobe for G10: Inon or Ikelite? dealers in TWN?

    Hi everybuddy, after one year of struggle with Fantasea flash, i decided that "we need a bigger strobe." To be used on G10 with original Canon G10 WP housing. 1) I would like to buy a strobe which i am going to use for some time with G10, and when i win a lottery and can afford housing for...
