    50w HID Light Monkey - w/ standard goodman & video reflectors

    50W Light Monkey HID with both the standard goodman handle as well as a Salvo video reflector with a 1" ball. Perfect way to switch between a super tight and super bright 5000 lumen focused beam up to a very nice wide video beam. Burn time around 2.5 hours. Asking $1100. In very good shape. Rob

    P&S tips (with & without lenses)

    I have a SD960IS with a UWL-100 wide angle and a UCL-165 macro lense, an HID and a strobe (fantasea remora). I took the camera and housing (no lenses) to a pool last night, first time shooting with a strobe before we head out to Chuuk/Palau/Yap on saturday. The pics were coming out quite dark...

    Poor customer service

    I took my Akona bag with me to Mexico, and the airlines broke one of the plastic rails on the bottom of the bag. The airline would not cover it because they said it was not a "hard sided bag" despite the fact that it has hard sides. I emailed Akona asking if I can get it fixed, even if I had...

    Truk Stop or Blue Lagoon Dive Resort?

    We're going to Chuuk for 5 days of diving in February - because of trip logistics, a liveaboard is not an option. It sounds like the two spots to stay are the Blue Lagoon Dive Resort and Truk Stop. We won't be doing any technical / deco diving, although the option of nitrox / doubles would be...

    SD960 (6240.96) UWL-100 vs. UWL-165

    I have a SD960 with a 6240.96 housing, and a 9306.81 67mm threaded adapter used with an Inon UWL-100 type 2 lense. This combo is great, it does definitely vignette in 4:3 mode (above & below water), but in HD video mode it manages to just barely crop it out (below water). You can see an...

    So Fantasea makes some wide angle lenses (FWAL-01 and FWAL-02), 52mm and they include 46mm step-down adapters. You can find them online for $200. The only info I have found on the difference between the -01 and the -02 is the external size or shape. Mfg page: Fantasea Line Water Sports Photo...

    A few Zeagle questions

    Is there any reason one couldn't install a couple grommets on a Stiletto BCD in order to use w/ a dual tank wing (after buying a larger bladder)? Would durability be an issue? Has anyone tried the zipper universal mount + pony holder with a 13 cf and have any real-world feedback as far as...

    FS: Canon S230 3.2 Megapixel + WP-DC600 132 ft waterproof housing

    The waterproof housing was used on ONE diving trip to Hawaii, and washed with fresh water immediately after exiting the water, in other words, mint! The camera was used for a couple years, but was always taken very good care of, and is in very good shape. Comes with a custom fit neoprene case...
