Take a look at the new Canon G9. Supposed to be available in October for $500. SB

Ditto, on the Ike housing. One of my buddies had the Canon housing for a G7 and it had a minor flood on like his third dive, but it was enough to wreck the camera. Fortunately Canon repaired it on warentee. But he has since got the Ike housing and is much happier. It is sturdier, contols...

Hi Nivla80, I am in Portland. There are a few shore dives in Oregon, but most people do head up to Puget Sound. Many dive with a 7mil wetsuit and are comfortable. It gets a little more difficult in the winter when everything gets colder. If you can swing it, the drysuit is the best...

Hi folks, I am taking a trip in a couple weeks and would like to take my Olympus SP-350 for underwater pics. Let me know if you have a Oly or Ike housing that you no longer use and I will make you a deal. Thanks Steve B

I agree with Scottri. When I started out, I rented gear from Underwater Works and was happy with the service and equipment. Steve B

Too many arms.

Hi Jokeborn, One of the local Portland clubs is oregonscuba.com The meetings are first Thurs each month at the Busters BBQ in Tigard. Gots lots of local divers and monthly club dives. Drop me a line if you want to check out Clear Lake or head up to Puget Sound. I dive a couple times a...

Scott, that last photo is chilling. :) You should enter it in this weeks Wetpixel contest. Subject is 'Botched Shots'. I don't infer that it was your botch, but it fits right in with the other 'oh s---' moments. Steve B

Hi Brian, I could ask her, but I am sure her mother would throttle me. :11: I don't think I can pull off two trips, but I look forward to your dive reports! Let me know how it goes. Steve B

I don't know much about Baker, but unless you are well qualified in glacier climbing, including rope, self arrest, snow camping etc, I would recommend going with a guide, such as these guys. http://www.mountainmadness.com/namerica/baker.cfm Steve B

Thanks for the help Dean810, That gives me some places to look to get started planning. I spend most of my time up in Puget Sound, but there are a few good dives in Oregon. Going to hit Hood Canal this weekend. Steve B

Hey Wreckers, I am an experienced Oregon diver that will be in the Chicago area around August 10 to 13 for my niece's wedding and was hoping to squeeze in a couple dives in the area while I am there. Probably the 12th will need to be my dive day. This is my first time in the area, so any...

Use the Master Program and connect the camera to your computer. Click on the upgrade camera icon and it will read your current version and tell you if there are any firmware upgrades available. Steve B

Nice pics. Thanks. Looks like a great trip. I noticed most of the pics had some hard vignetting in the corners. Do you know what caused that? SB

Ohre Stars tend to congreate, and I like the patterns they make.

Well, I can translate the work Photoshop in the caption. Me guesses someone cloned a elephant head on to a manatee. SteveB

If you are after a over all shot of the boat, go as wide angle as you can and get as close as possible. Less water between you and the boat will help the strobes, and reduce amount of backscatter between you and the object. Steve B
