    XT2 second stage regulator rentention ring

    I’ve been diving the Diverite XT2 second stage for a little while now and they’ve worked great but when cleaning it I’ve always found this retention ring in front of the diaphragm quite difficult to remove. Is this rentention ring necessary? Would the regulator be safe to dive without it...

    Sony A6000 / A6300 meikon housing review

    I stand by my experience, they haven't had any interest in supporting their product. They've continually said they're looking into the problem for months and now just flat out ignore me when I follow up.

    Sony A6000 / A6300 meikon housing review

    I'd be hesitant to recommend any Meikon product. I haven't used their housing but I have used their video lights which seem to have bad LED circuitry which lead to random flickering -- not what you want during video at all. Their customer support was non-existant and they were not willing to...

    Why so little hype for the Canon EOS M5? It seems pretty good

    I'm wondering why there seems to be so little hype for the Canon's new mirrorless the EOS M5. The specs look pretty good. I got confirmation from Nauticam that they have created a housing for the M5 and it is shipping. Sales and reviews for the M5 seem good topside. This camera has the same...

    What were Monterey conditions like 10-15 years ago?

    Wow!!!!! @stilldivin that was incredible! I loved your video, it's so lush with life! So many sea stars, giant spined, batstars etc. The conditions were beautiful. Do you happen to remember if back in the 80s it was as stormy as it's been the last year and a half?

    80s are great too! I'm super curious about conditions from the past.

    What were Monterey conditions like 10-15 years ago?

    Does anyone here know what normal Monterey/Carmel conditions were like 10-15 years ago? The reason I bring it up is because at a recent reef check event it was mentioned that the stormy conditions of the last year and a half might actually be the norm, where as the lull of the 4-5 years...

    Valentina (Socorro) Reviews?

    I have friends that went with Valentina last year with Power Scuba, an organization out of San Deigo. They only had good things to say about it. I went to Socorro last year with another boat cuz the popular ones fill up 2 years in advanced. I'd say if you have a chance to go to Socorro, do it

    For Sale Ikelite Housing for Canon S95

    I am selling a barely used Ikelite housing for the Canon S95. It is in excellent condition as it has only ever been on 2 dives. On those two dives it was well maintained and looked after. Of the 2 dives, the last dive was in July 2016 and it was fine, did not flood. The O-ring is fine and it...

    So what makes a housing rated to 200 feet vs 130 feet?

    So I have a polycarbonate ikelite and canon housing for the same camera. The ikelite is rated to 200 feet (60 meters) while the canon is rated to 130 feet (40 meters). But after reviewing both housing, I'm left wondering what exactly makes one rated to 200 feet vs 130? The ikelites springs...

    Wet Lens Basics?

    I've only tried to flood mine in the sink and it doesn't quite work. There are little air bubbles that come out very slowly but even after a minute it hasn't flooded. After I screw the lens on while submerged, if I take the lens out of the water, the water between the port and lens stays in...

    Wet Lens Basics?

    I just got my first wet lens, a wide angle dyron, off ebay. It didn't come with instructions and dyron's website links for the manual are dead. So I'm wondering if I could get some tips on best practices? Starting with, how do I put the thing on properly? I'm using an ikelite housing for a...

    Sony a6000 16mm+Fisheye Converter Ports

    What did you mean by the size difference is not an upside? Of the housing? The lens? or between the a6000 and a6300? I thought I'd stick with the a6000 since the a6300 seems to have issues overheating and based on other review online a really bad rolling shutter for video. Did you have any...

    Sony a6000 16mm+Fisheye Converter Ports

    Ok, stupid question, with a fisheye lens, is a dome port required? Anyone know anything about the Recsea? I really like it's much smaller size.

    Sony a6000 16mm+Fisheye Converter Ports

    Does anyone know which ports are compatible with the Sony 16mm+Sony VCL-ECF2 Fisheye Converter for the Recsea a6000 housing? What about Nauticam? I'm looking to get a housing but want to make sure this lens will work. I prefer the Recsea. I'm also quite new to photography.
