To anybody facing this same issue I recommend checking Don Quixote's tie wrap solution in the thread above. Worked for me!

Following up on related threads (Uncontrolled ascent!! - Loss of a Weight Insert for Mares Prestige BCD pocket & Dragon MRS plus dropping pocket), I had to buy two replacement pockets: both are brand new, they even had 'Made in Bulgaria' stickers on it. Both had only 2 out of 3 straps inserted...

Hello Jason, if you are used to a dSLR on land, you'll probably find yourself limited with the Sealife. But as you pointed out, you wouldn't risk taking your SLR UW, just like I would not drag a bulky SLR on an off path mountain hike (too heavy, too much risk of breaking it), to the beach...

Too heavy... Or too bulky? My set cam+flash are positively buoyant, so weight shan't be a problem. I bet it'll be hard to maneuver. I'm getting one and will be trying it out. But first I have to find a way to hook the Aquapod to the flash base, since the flash base screws into the same place...

Just went to a LDS to test Sealife's new Fisheye Wide Angle Lens (SL975). I wanted to see how it compared to the Wide Angle 0,5X lens (SL970). I used my DC1400, and took 4 pictures. I aligned all of them with the red thing on the right. 1-Picture without any lenses 2-Picture with Wide...

Pictures were aligned with the red thing on the right, so you extra field of view appears on the left. Also notice distortion at top and left.

Zoomed in to reduce vignetting (still apparent for comparison purposes).

Vignetting is quite apparent.

I ended up getting one, here's my review on another thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/underwater-photography/412525-transfer-edit-photos-tablet-2.html

I finally got the AirStash and tested it out. The Airstash is a 130-150$ SDHC card reader that can be plugged into a PC's USB port (to read/write whatever files to/from the card) but it's also Wifi enabled, through which it can stream the content of the SDHC card to multiple devices (PC, iPad...

Has anyone tried the SeaLife AquaPod Underwater Monopod? From the pics I saw it does not look compatible with the external flash base. From B&H Photo website:"The AquaPod Underwater Monopod from SeaLife is a support system for all SeaLife and other underwater cameras that have a standard...

Hello Roger, try to upload pix on SB that way you'll get feedback. I've taken tons of AMAZING pictures with my Sealife, with and without strobe. Just like land photography, practice and feedback will make a big difference. I see on your profile that you have quite a lot of diving experience...

One thing to know is that rechargeable batteries will gradually decay with use/years. I would buy 2 new batteries, this way you can replace the battery between dives. I have a DC1200 and I always change my battery between dives, because I take a LOT of pictures and want the flash to recharge as...

Hello boomer68, glad to know you'll be back underwater! There is an ongoing debate about 'point and shoot' vs 'DSLR' cameras, both above and underwater. The key question is: how much time, money and gear are you willing to put into this? At this point you already have a great point and...

Hello lhhoback, I've looked into this and there are a couple factors to consider (hopefully others will chime in). The YS holder is a plastic component that holds the lamp and allows it to be connected to its YS connector counterpart. In the attached picture (source: Adorama website), the...

In case someone else has this question here's the full answer to the original question: Sealife cameras have an internal memory. When no SD card is inserted, pictures are saved to the internal memory. To view or transfer those files, just remove any SD card from the camera. The camera will...

Indeed quite neat, thanks for the info. Do you know of any good dive resorts that are not too expensive in Dumagete?

Hello, I'm planning a 3 week scuba diving trip to Asia this May and need advice on what places to dive and possible itineraries. If you can spare some recommendations for dive shops and accomodation that would be great too. I've been reading a lot on SB and diving sites and the following sound...
