Hi everyone, If you love wide-angle photography, you might be interested in my detailed review of the Nauticam FCP-1 (also on DivePhotoGuide)...

Hi everyone, Alex Mustard and I will be analyzing our favorite shots amongst UPY 2024 winners, plus Ocean Art 2023 and DPG Masters 2023. These may or may not be category winners, photography is so subjective! This is next week (February 21st/22nd, depending on your timezone). Details here...

Hey photographers, I have just finished a review of the Nauticam angled relay, which is a new accessory for their EMWL system of bug-eye lenses. In short, it makes it easier to frame your subject against a blue water background, sunball, model or all of the above. It's not suited for all...

Hi all, I have long been a fan of Nicolas Barraque's wreck panoramas, for he shoots extra-large wrecks, typically over 250ft/70m in length, and manages to turn them into a single image! The conventional way to shoot wreck panos is to choose a spot near the center of the ship, and from there...

Hi there, I thought this might of interest to some: I am giving an online talk next month (22/23rd November) on how to use motion blur to fabricate textured background (all in-camera), a technique which I really like to use (some of my shots attached). It is based on using a very slow shutter...

Hi all, I am hosting a webinar on selecring photos for competition, thought it might be of interest to some. There are 2 slots to choose from: one on Sunday evening (US time) and one on Monday evening (Australian time) or Monday morning (Europe). you can secure your spot there: Buy tickets for...

Hi everyone, My sister and her partner are going to visit the Perhentian islands for a few days and asked me for recommendations on where to snorkel (they aren't scuba certified). I haven't been there and the previous threads I've found were dated/more around Scuba sites. So, could anyone...

Hi everyone, Nowadays most cameras perform decently in shallow/clear water dives, but things can go south when the ambient light gets low or when the visibility drops. I have years of trust in my DSLRs ability in those conditions, but I was really curious to see how a top-range mirrorless camera...

Hi all, I am giving an online talk / Q&A May 25th about this topic: https://www.divephotoguide.com/underwater-photography-scuba-ocean-news/underwater-club-fireside-chat-nikon-z9-vs-nikon-dslrs With the Z8 just announced, which is meant to perform the same as the Z9 in all areas but battery life...

Hi everyone, I am giving away one brand-new Retra Flash Pro X, details here: https://theunderwaterclub.com This is to celebrate the launch of my underwater photography courses. @admin: I checked the classified forum rules before posting, and I believe that post complies, please delete & accept...

Hi everyone, I've recently bought a Shearwater Teric dive computer, which is also my first digital watch (I am old school...). One thing annoys me when I wear it as a watch: I have to press one of the 4 buttons whenever I want to check what time is it. My wife has a fitness watch 4 times...

Hi there, The following enhancement suggestion applies to Shearwater computers that read partial oxygen pressure from rebreather's oxygen sensors. Today on Shearwater Cloud, I can only display the average PO2 (across my 3 rebreather sensors) and this is in ATA, e.g. it could read: 1.28 ATA...

hi there, ShearwaterCloud now has a "Filter Dives" function. I am all for RTFM, but in the absence of the said Manual, I'd like to understand which dive metadata/fields can be targeted with this filter. My foreseen usage: I download logs for both my wife's and my Shearwater computer, so the...

hi guys, I am looking to buy a second hand Nauticam flat port (for macro lenses), either ref. 18701, or ref. 18702 (the later would be my preference). make me an offer! Nicolas

hi guys, I am after a second-hand NA-D750 housing, PM me if you have one to sell. thanks Nicolas

hi guys, Could anyone share a tutorial or manual taking me through the steps to service myself my Apeks High Profile dump valve? It started leaking last week, despite being water proof for 1+ years. Youtube is generous on videos when it comes to the more recent Apeks low-profile valve, but not...

Hi guys, I am looking for a way to test my shoulder dump valve for leaks at home (as opposed to getting discomfort during so many more dives…). It’s leaking for sure, but not always (depends how open and how squeezed I am in the suit). I like a lot what this guy did – his video shows how he...

Hi guys, This thread is to share what solutions work when it comes to dry a drysuit which good flooded, and that has neoprene boots integrated in the suit. So: => It's not about the bit of condensation or sweat which we all get in our drysuit when water is cold. I am talking about a real flood...

Hi fellow divers, I suffer regularly from a number of allergies, mostly pollens, but also mites. To my knowledge, I have no specific allergy to scuba equipment materials (neoprene, latex… all good for me). Last year I’ve relocated from France to Australia and it didn’t take me long to find new...
