Good afternoon everyone. Ive narrowed my search down to the Big Island (Kona area) for our first Hawaiian trip. Hoping to do a mix of a few 'must see' boat dives (manta, etc.), and shore dives. (we dive Bonaire alot and im spoiled to sleeping in and doing shore dives). I was reaching out...

Good afternoon , I’m in the process of looking up options for a Hawaii trip ( first time). This has probably been asked before, but didn’t see it. We tend to like smaller locations, less traffic, vrbo style setups etc. Mostly caribbean divers. Lots of bonaire , Cozumel , Roatan we are...

Good evening. We frequently dive the Caribbean ( from the states) and I was just curious what everyone does to find deals, Especially on airfare. We tend to do vrbo/Airbnb ( over resort type visits), but we always here those travelers who pay much less than we do. Is there certain...

Good evening. I recently purchased a TG-6 (love it) and am wanting to go with a minimal setup for traveling. Im looking at the Inon S-2000 or the Backscatter mini flash for strobes (x2 regardless of brand.) I was shocked when I saw the pricing of the bases and arms. Ive researched...

Good evening gang. Im researching the idea of stepping up into the tech world. Ive done several deep wrecks over the years, and I'm often wishing I had more bottom time 90-130 ft range eats up NDL even on Nitrox. what would be a good starting point to get more bottom time out of this dive...

Good afternoon. I’ll be going down to the keys in a few weeks to dive the wrecks. Solo certified, but don’t have my own bottle yet. When I got solo certified, I used a side mount sling type that hooked to my BC on two clasps. I’m not having any luck finding the name of that type of harness...

Good afternoon gang, I’m still researching on my new camera setup I’m going to buy. I currently have a sealife dc-140” with 1 sealife (pre sea dragon) strobe on a shorter flex arm. My goal is to have a smaller setup but still get decent results. I know I will get better results from a dual...

Good afternoon gang, Headed to key largo for the first time in many years. My memory of last visit ( don’t recall the dive operator) was that they had pretty conservative bottoms times ( 45 min vs 1 hour) Do you guys know if that’s a keys standard, or are some outfits more restrictive than...

Looking to upgrade to a Sony RX100 series. Mostly into stills over video. Reef shots and semi macro stuff mostly. With 7-8 models available, which one is suggested for the best value that’s still not outdated. Totally fine with used if the camera is still in great shape. Mainly...

Good afternoon. My wife and I are going to key largo in mid-April for an extended week trip. We’ve been, but it’s been years for us since we went to KL. I was curious to know which operators are operating that are suggestible to an advanced diver. I’d read that some boats only go out now if...

I’ve been reading into the rx100 series to purchase and one of the “ cons” Im reading is that it has a slow flash recharge time (up to 4 seconds). Is there anyway to trick that into firing faster , if I had one and external strobes? ( new to photography, so I apologize if this is an easy...

Good evening everyone. What do you guys use to correct white balance on your dc1400? All I see in settings is just the preset green/blue water , and greater/less than 15ft. Is there a way to get better white balance? Any tips?

Good evening. I’ve decided to go with an A6x00 series camera for my first mirrorless. ( upgrading from compact) To keep costs down, I’m looking at used selections, and quite a few have the option to buy without the kit lens. Given that option, what would be a good primary lens to...

Good afternoon, I’m researching stepping up as a photographer into a more capable unit. I’ve dove with my sealife dc1400 with 1 strobe for 10 years, and im wanting an upgrade. Mirrorless seems to be the happy spot. ( I’m afraid I’d want another upgrade with a compact system in a few years)...

Good evening, On my last trip to Bonaire, my Mares Abyss ( 10 years old but serviced by local shop annually) started to free flow at depth. I never could get it to correct itself on the dive, and switched to my pony bottle ( was headed back to shore already, so no biggy). I did a few...

Good evening. After some research, we will be staying in Juno beach Thanksgiving week. I’ve been doing my research, and it looks like the closest operation in the area are in Jupiter or WPB. I was curious if WPB ( pura vida divers) would have enough to keep us going for the entire week...

Good afternoon gang. We're debating a trip in the future down the coastline from South Carolina to Florida. We'll be in an RV, and I was planning on focusing on the keys. (been before). The more I research, it looks like there's good quality diving in the Jupiter area for some good spots...

Good afternoon, We live in SC, and are trying to put together a trip to Florida for late November/early December. We have an RV, and I was going to try to take it down to the keys, but that is a 10 hour drive. My thought was that we could take a few days to get there, and maybe hit some other...
