Thanks for the responses. I guess that I will just stick with what I have.

I have an Olympus E-volt 510 with an Ikelite housing (21730) with the 6" dome port. Is there an extension piece that could be inserted netween the dome port and the housing, such that I could use my larger lens (40-150mm)? Thanks.

Let me see how to put this. I have probably been diving since almost BEFORE you were born. I started in spring 1959 and I do not intend to stop anytime soon. I was on a dive trip a couple of years ago to Roatan and there were only four of us at the resort with me being the youngest by far. This...

Hi there, I have an Olympus EVOLT E-510 in an Ikelite housing with a DS50 strobe. I am thinking of adding an additional strobe for it. My question is whether to add another DS-50 or a DS-51 or a DS-125? I am using the TTL cable to the strobe connected internally to the hot shoe. Also, how...

Even after the two claims, I did not have any problems renewing the policy. I just did that last week. The price was actually $2 less than when I first started with them. The BIG difference I see from the other types of policies is the fact that this policy covers ALL aspects of the trip or...

I have been using State Farm PAP for a couple of years now. I bought it prior to a trip to Thailand. It covers all of my camera gear; lenses, body, strobe, housing, case everything. I have had two camera floods - one from an over zealous DM putting my rig into a rinse tank on the MV Spree and...

After several attempts to record this show. It appears that it MAY be on this Saturday in the Houston area. I will set the recorder again for this weekend. I am looking forward to seeing it. I was hoping to join the crew on a trip later this year, but it looks like work will interfere with those...

I have used the Ike housing for my Nikon Coolpix 5000 for numerous dive trip without ANY incident. I also have a DS-50 strobe. Good luck.

We still have not had a chance to see it in Houston. It is extremely difficult to even find where it might be or when.

The only problem I have with AKR is the ridiculous difference between A/C rooms and those without. I realize that there are a few other differences in the rooms, but none that justify the price span. The food is good, the staff is excellent and the dive boats are the best on the island, by far...

First, let me say that everyones is different. I know, that is really profound - duh. Anyway, in my case, I had the aeortic valve replaced with an artificial one and returned to diving 6 months later. It could have been earlier, but it did not fit my schedule. It would CERTAINLY be advisable to...

I have been to FIBR at least a dozen or so times. I would have to go through my log to see how many. The latest was last October. The boats have ALWAYS been the big drawback to the resort. The room are good, the food is good, the staff is great, but the boats -- not so much. The DMs and the...

I have stayed at Deep Blue twice. The care of guests are the top concern of everyone there. The shore diving is good, but the boat dives are better. Steve will take very good care of you. The only issue I had was the boat was a bit small and old, but this was a few years ago and they might have...

I am comsidering making the trip, as I already received my fre ticket.

I flew from Houston (IAH) through Moscow (DME) on the way to Bangkok (BGK). We were only there for a short time. We offloaded the plane, went through the terminal, struggled through security and reloaded onto the same plane. We were required to take all of our possessions with us to go through...

Tortuga - Spanish for turtle due to my slow, steady dive style, but capable of speed, if necessary.

Hi there, I have just recently returned (9/27) from a two week trip to Roatan. One week at Fantasy Island and the other at Reef House Resort. There were no issues with mosquitos at either location. I have been to Roatan numerous times over about 12 years and have not had any issues. The...

I just returned (Oct 27) from a two week trip to Roatan. As others have stated, there does not seem to be ANY impact on the Bay Islands. We had a wonderful time and everyone there was very friendly. The diving was a little off due to the rains, but overall, it was very good - especially for the...

Will this work for a PCM LED light? Could you post a picture of it? Thanks.

When I first upgraded to a DSLR, I bought another Ike housing. I wrote them a note shortly after I received it saying that I did not think that the dome port mounting was very secure. I was assured that it was; as it is a design that had been used for a number of years. That was about a year and...
