Guys, My daughter works on one of the cruise ships which are in and out of Cozumel and Costa Maya very frequently and she is looking to do some dives whilst she is on this itinerary. Any suggestions for dive centres fairly close to the cruise terminals and rough ideas of what a single dive...

Wasn't sure whether to pos this here or in the Ikelite section. Using a D90 with a 105mm in an ikelite housing, and over the weekend had intermittent focusing issues. It was as though one of the controls was partly depressed. Each half push of the shutter button resulted in the LCD screen...

A friend of mine has bought his daughter a Nikon Coolpix L23 with an Ikelite housing. I was diving withe them this weekend and he was asking what sort of strobe he should consider getting for her. The one that sprung to mind initially was the Ikelite AF35, but not sure if the internal flash is...

Here is my problem. The main spring in the second stage of both my Hurricanes require replacing. One has broken and the other is showing signs of metal fatigue. Anyone know now of a stockist that may have them. I have been informed that Dive Rite no longer carry spares, which for a reg that...

Just back from a week long trip to Manado. Stayed at the Tasik Ria resort, diving with Tasik Divers The diving was good and spent a week playing with the camera, including a Subsee +10, with mixed results lol. Great walls at Bunaken and macro heaven over at Lembeh. I would certainly...

Looking at a possible trip in March and narrowed it down to either the Philippines or Sulawesi. I know a lot of people who have dived in PI but none in that part of Indonesia. Any comments or thoughts on the diving there?

Following the advice on here, visited the Mares support site, opened the ticket and ................... Ticket has been open a week and not a dickie bird from Mares. Let's see how long I actually have to wait for a response

Recently started with a D90 in an Ikelite housing and a couple of DS-51 strobes. Adjusting settings and I have noticed that with the TTL I cannot get a faster shutter speed than 1/200. I am guessing this is as a result of the shutter/strobe sync speed. Am i correct?

I have recently bought a dslr set-up, with an Ikelite housing. I have now used it on four dives over different days. First 2 dives just left it on auto, as I was getting a feel for it and had no problems. Dives 3 and 4 switched to manual mode. What I initially noticed was that on the surface...

I have been using a Fuji Finepix for a few years and whilst the results with it are (I think), pretty good, starting to get a little frustrated with the limitations of it. Looking for advice on a sensibly priced entry level DSLR set-up. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Heading to Australia next June for 3 weeks and will be in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Looking for suggestions for dive sites worth considering in those areas. Thanks

Foolishly, I had both of my Niteks completely discharge. However, since fully charging them, the B button on both of them refuses to do anything. I can scroll through with the A button, but cannot select anything. Any ideas people?

I was shocked to find out today, that diving is actually mandated in a federal law in the UAE. To all those who say "there's no law that says you have to be certified". don't come here to dive :eyebrow: Federal Law No. (23) of the year 1999, ARTICLE (51) Whoever exercises the diving hobby...

Just seen this GoPro deep uw housing - 150 meters Anyone heard or read any reviews for these?

Please look at the Facebook page from the link. The attempts to educate the fishermen has little or no effect https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.492061104138433.117377.100000036446007&type=3

I have been pleased with the results with the magic filter for blue water diving in the Red Sea, but now I am back in the UAE with our typically green water, which filter can anyone advise for the Backscatter housing? Cheers

Recorded this video whilst doing a deco stop above the Yolanda. The comments on the video are mine and I don't think they are harsh. Thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxRRzZ_d9DY

Just returned from a trip to Egypt and checked out the canyon that runs alongside Thomas Reef in the Straits of Tiran. The canyon drops to a maximum depth of 92m. We did two dives into the canyon, the first to 50m on air, the second to 65m on 18/40. Both dives used EANx 50 & 80 as deco gasses...

So, now got a Hero2, but can't/won't take it underwater yet as I am waiting for a flat lens to arrive from Backscatter. Had a little go with it around the house, but with the settings at 1080 wide, the recorsding seems to have a touch of fish-eye about it. It seems less on 1080 medium. I don't...
