Hi Guys, How are you all? It's been a while since I've posted, but I've been reading for a while. I'm an avid diver with 350ish dives. I just found out I'm stuck in Newport Beach for the weekend with nothing to do and figured I might as well dive. I have a work buddy that also wishes to dive...

Yes! Digging up a 6 year old thread, I saw the same thing! I'm very frustrated... and my models aren't really that close to the camera (But it was a fisheye lens). I assume it's the light being bent by the fact that there's no water inside the mask, but still - very frustrating. Especially since...

as far as diving without a guide, my suggestion would be to take it really easy. I have 250 or so dives, but my gf was fresh out of OW when we went to Curacao. We were staying at Kura Hulanda Lodge (which was a massive disappointment, but that's a different story). She was holding on to her...

I shoot the 7D so that changes things a bit, but I use a 10-17mm, which in your case would be a 16-35 or a 17-40 (or a non-L equivalent). I didn't check the dome port model, but you need the DOME port and not the flat port, since Wide Angle lenses wouldn't work with the flat port (you'd get part...

Calling it a Macintosh is old school! My first was a 128k - which was yours?

never thought of it that way, but you're absolutely right. It may well be that EVERY flight is a low-altitude flight :-)

I'm sure you all figured out what i have in mind... Google earth says it's 72k (45miles), so it's easily doable if laws allow. So... if you or your group tried this... Did it work out? Did they accept flying under 1500ft? How much was it? Thanks so much! Cheers!

very, very few people mentioned MVPlan. It's free and runs natively on mac and linux, and cuts tables very similar to iDeco (on iphone), and my Shearwater. Is it just not used?

Real Name: Andre Padua Years Diving: 2,5 Tech Diving: 0,5 No of Tech Dives: 10 Trimix: Yes, normoxic Cave: No Rebreather: No Side Mount: No Instructor: No Hi Guys. I'm a tech newbie. I've been diving for a little over two years and have about 220 dives. For the most paprt i was just a...

I was there in April and they did offer me trimix. Whatever mix i needed. Get ready for the prices, though.

I would add just one more thing. By any chance are your NC dives with the same outfit you certified with, or are they with people you know? Any chance you're getting performance anxiety of some sort - you feel you have to "deliver" dives better when you're there? It could just be that when...

This is the one phrase i was a bit bothered by. If you were nervous "before" the dive - why did you make them? Shouldn't you perhaps have taken it easy, changed the dive plan to 60ft or whatever would have made you more comfortable, and discussed this with your buddy? Do not be afraid to call a...

I would absolutely recommend Paulo Lopes of PL Divers in Arraial do Cabo. He takes it very, very seriously. I live in SP and got my tech training with him. Absolutely no regrets.

I don't have the cert. I do, however, have a camera. And so do most of my buddies. And what I've noticed on many, many dives where I'm primarily photographing is that within 5 minutes of the dive, it's become a solo dive. Won't argue if people tell me i'm wrong about that, but it's a conscious...

Well, my dive shop had two incentives to offer me DM training while i was in OW training. One was that their "program" offered me kind of an internship where I'd do work for them - filling tanks, helping students, helping other divers on the boat. So it was cheap labor for them. The other was...

Thanks Zak. I'll give it a try. Andre

Hi All, I just bought a used Mares Puck. I'd like to reset it to factory defaults; mainly, i'd like to clear the logbook. Will removing the battery do that? Is there a different way to do it? I have the USB cable if that's any help. Cheers, Andre

I'm booked! See you all there! Andre
