I like your view points and agree that there are different thoughts on this. I especially agree with your comparison of destinations. I have learned that different destinations have different requirements/expectations. I have been to places that never even ask for a C-Card and I have been to...

This is my review of the Sealife DC1400 Pro with flash. I am in no way a professionalphotographer. On land I normally shootwith a Nikon D5000 and rarely use the Auto setting, I normally use the aperturesetting with manual ISO and white balance. This is my first underwater camera and I bought...

Roatanman, For time's sake I left some details out.. I also don't know how to do the cool quote thingy when replying. "A lot of folks want to dive the day they arrive. Many people agree that this is a bad idea due to the inherent dehydration of air travel." Dehydration wasn't the/a problem...

My wife found Cocolobo on tripadvisor.com where it is one of the top rated for the west end. It is not an AI resort, but they do serve a delicious hot breakfast every morning with drinks. It is possible to do smoe shore diving from the west end. I didn't personally do it, but did see...

I just returned from a from a six day five night stay in Roatan. We arrived on Monday afternoon and checked into Cocolobo. I was hesitant about staying here because on the internet maps I looked at it appeared to be quite a hike into town. I must say it is a very quick walk. There is a short...

We decided to stay with Roatan, but taking ponchos and shoes for walking on muddy streets. Hopefully we can get a day or two of diving in. I did call the dive op. (thanks for the idea) and they said they will move to the south side if they need to.

I figure even if it goes as far north as some predictions it will still cause rough seas in Roatan keeping the dive boats from going out. I am suppose to be there Monday to Friday. I am considering a last minute change and giving up my deposits and going to the Bahamas. I have heard NOAA is...

We leave for Roatan on Monday. Doubt we will be doing as much diving as we had planned. :(

BTW Cobra269. Great pictures!

Thanks for the suggestions! Did any of you take video with it, and how did you find the video quality? I have been experimenting with it since I got it (and I have read the directions cover to cover). I am finding that it has a very long shutter lag when I have it set to land, and a little...

I just got the DC1400 Pro with external flash. I will be using it for the first time next month in Roatan and have a few questions. What have you found the best settings to be for that type of diving? What does the "saturation" setting do? and have you had any trouble with the battery...

Thanks for the great tips!

We will be staying at Cocolobo the week of August 8th for the wife's 40th birthday. And recommendations for dinner on her birthday? Hopefully we will be able to do the shark dive that morning (depends on if enough people try to book it that day).

Thanks for the info.

I am considering buying a Canon SX230 for my first underwater camera. For those of you that have one and have used it what are your thoughts? Which housing did you go with? Did you put a strobe on it? Do you have access to all the controls on it? Can you switch from photo to video under water...

Wanting to buy a used canon s100 and the housing. Looking for my first underwater camera. If you are wanting to upgrade yours and sell your S100 let me know.

I see alot of these dive shops require a 25% non refundable deposit. I will be going in September during hurricane season and don't want to lose my deposit if I don't go on the trip due to a storm. Has anybody had any trouble booking the dives at the last minute say two to three days out?

Thanks for the info!!

The wife and I are going to Playa Del Carmen in September (7-11). This will be our first time diving there and the wife's first time diving in salt water. We will be there three full days and are planning on diving on two of the days. Should we spend the third day doing the snorkel with...
