I had the most memorable Christmas gift this year - a 4 week dive holiday in the Philippines. On Christmas day I received a dive guide to the Philippines, a SWATCH scuba watch with integrated dept gauge etc, and an Apex travel bag for my regulator. Happy Bubbles

I heard that it's relatively minimal, but nothing more specific than that. Sorry

Hi If I remember correctly the the Hilton in the Ari Atoll, which is considered one of the better Atolls for diving. My favourite dive site "Mayafughitila" is located there. Not all resorts are expensive as the Hilton, and September is a cheap time to go becuase the winds are changing. The...

Hi Mike Your photos are gorgeous. I live in Zurich and will keep an eye out for the mag. I'll keep you posted.

HI This thread was originally posted about two years old, so I'm not sure how many replies you'll get. In any case, since my past reply I bought myself a TAG and have worn it for on my dives as a backup in case I have trouble w me dive computer. My husband wears his too. We don't worry...

Hi Glad to hear that you had a good trip. Just wondering what thickness wetsuit you used, and if you were cold? I'm considering going last minute next week, as it looks like I may not be able to go on holiday as planned in May. Cheers

Hi Again Thanks for your input Ayisha. It's good to hear from someone who uses the exact same models. I did consider trying on my 3mm again. It seemed to fit normally (neither tight nor loose) when I last used it in December. I should try it again, as I think I may have lost weight since...

Thanks for the input guys. I had considered of the pattern making issue, and asked two dive professionals about it and received two opposite responses. I know that with Bare I’m a different size depending on the Model. I.e. Two in a half years ago I tried the woman’s 7mm Arctic SGS Full...

Hi Last year I bought a 3/2 mm Women's BARE Vevocity Wetsuit, and I'm now considering buying a 5/4 mm. Will I need a larger size to conpensate the thicker material makes it stiffer and hense more difficult to put on? The reason I'm asking is because I'll have to oder the suit without trying...

Hi I agree w the others. I'd get a 7mm for Canada or even a dry suit if you want to extend your divng period in the St Laurence before it freezes over. I'd recommend either a 3 mm or possibly a 5/3 or simular for the tropics. If you are lucky you might find a 7mm fully, with extra body and...

Hi Again I just remembered that I have been to southern Egypt in late March. It was in 1996 just before the tourist bombings in the Valley of the Kings. I recall that it was a scorcher the in sun when there wasn’t any wind around. As per usual for the desert, it got cold(ish) and windy at...

Hi Bubblelogist Although I'm not the one going to Egypt on a liveaboard in March, I think that you gave a good response. I always find examples helpful. I suspect Egypt will be a lot cooler than the Bahamas were. My girlfriend went to Hurgada in mid February and froze her butt off at...

Thanks for the tip NevadaM. As things turned out I didn't have time to find a filter anyhow and there is no point in rushing to find one tomorrow. In the mean time, I will definitely try adjusting the WB underwater instead of only before the dive. As it so happens I keep an instructor...

Great, nothing happens when I click on my photos - select photos. I'll have to read the instructions on how to add attachments and do it later. Too tired to do it now, it's almost midnight Swiss time.

Thanks for sharing your first hand experience. I should give it a try and recalibrate the white balance while diving. It would give me more usage from my white writing slate. ;-)

I do that already, but the deep dive photos are still too blue. Mind you I don't calibrate while diving.

Hi Ron It’s clear that I will loose light with a filter. Like with any new gadget, I’m expecting to go through an experimental phase with it. Till I’ve tested it a few times, I won’t know exactly how it will affect my settings under the given conditions. I don’t always use a flash or...

Thanks Reyer Your reply has been somewhat helpful. I'm relatively new to underwater photography, and still more or less in the experimental phase with the camera and settings etc. I knew that I need different filters for different water conditions. Since I primarily dive in the Indian...

Your dive trip sounds so wonderful. I would just love to be in the water with sea lions and dolfins, pilot whales etc. Too bad the Sea of Cortez and the Socorro Islands are so far and logistically difficult to reach from Europe. Cheers

Hi I looked up the links you sent thanks.
